MOHAP Exam Fees 2026: Evaluation, DataFlow and Licence Cost
Last updated on 26-Oct-2026, by Dr. Muhammad Dr. Muhammad

 

MOHAP Exam Cost for Registration, DataFlow and Prometric 2026

MOHAP Exam Cost Quick Summary

MOHAP's Health Professional Evaluation fee is AED 500 for physicians and dentists, AED 400 for nurses and midwives, and AED 300 for allied health and TCAM professionals. On top of that you pay a DataFlow verification fee and a Prometric exam fee, both shown at the time of payment, and later the hiring facility pays the licence fee.

People search for one number, but the MOHAP (Ministry of Health and Prevention) process has four separate payments, made at different stages and to different organisations. Some amounts are published by MOHAP. Others, like DataFlow and Prometric, change with your category and testing country and are only shown when you pay. Below we give the figures we could confirm on MOHAP's own pages, and tell you plainly where you need to check the live amount. For a category-by-category overview, also see our MOHAP process and cost breakdown.

What are the MOHAP exam fees at each stage?

Stage Paid to Amount
1. Health Professional Evaluation (registration) MOHAP Physicians and dentists AED 500; nurses and midwives AED 400; allied health AED 300; TCAM AED 300. Pharmacists apply through a separate MOHAP service.
2. DataFlow primary source verification DataFlow Group Shown on the payment link MOHAP sends after approving your request. Not published on MOHAP's service page.
3. Prometric examination Prometric Shown when you book. Varies by category and test centre.
4. Licence issuance MOHAP (paid by the hiring facility) Nurses, lab technicians and other listed professions: AED 100 application plus AED 1,000 licence. Doctors: shown on the facility's application.

Figures from MOHAP's Health Professional Evaluation and licensing service pages, checked on 26 October 2026. Fees change, so always confirm the amount on the MOHAP evaluation service page or in the portal before you pay.

Older versions of this page quoted ranges such as AED 935 to 1,235 for DataFlow and US$ 210 to 300 for Prometric. We could not confirm these on an official source, so we have taken them out rather than give you a number that may be wrong.

Who pays the MOHAP licence fee?

Usually not you, at least not directly. After you pass and get your evaluation certificate, the facility that hires you applies for the licence through its own MOHAP account and pays online. For nurses, lab technicians and similar professions, MOHAP lists AED 100 for the application and AED 1,000 for the licence. For doctors in private facilities, MOHAP lists AED 100 for the application plus AED 3,000 for the licence, and the same amount for each renewal; renewal is free in government facilities. Whether your employer passes any of this on to you is a matter for your contract.

What is the refund policy for MOHAP fees?

Plan as if every payment is final. Once you pay for evaluation, DataFlow or Prometric, getting money back is the exception rather than the rule, and none of the official pages we checked promise a refund. Two points matter in practice:

  • If DataFlow cannot verify a document, the fee for that check is still spent, and fixing it can mean paying again.
  • For MOH exams, Prometric counts a cancelled or no-show appointment as one of your three attempts. So the real cost of cancelling is not only the fee, it is an attempt.
The cheapest attempt is the one you pass
Every retake means a new Prometric fee. Practise high-yield MOH UAE GP MCQs before you book.

How to reduce delays and extra costs

Most extra spending in this process is not a hidden fee. It is a repeat of something that went wrong the first time. The usual culprits:

  • Wrong or incomplete documents. Check the list for your category before uploading. Physicians can use our MOHAP physician documents page.
  • Name mismatches. Your name should match across passport, degree, licence and experience letters. A missing middle name can hold up DataFlow.
  • Unreachable HR contacts. Give DataFlow a working email and phone for every employer and confirm they will respond.
  • Old DataFlow reports not uploaded. If you were verified for DHA or DOH, upload that report so it can be reused.
  • An expired Good Standing Certificate. MOHAP wants it dated within six months, so time it close to your application.

What are common payment mistakes during the MOHAP process?

  • Using a card that is not enabled for international online payments, so the transaction fails.
  • Submitting an incomplete application and paying the evaluation fee before checking eligibility.
  • Letting your exam eligibility lapse, so you have to start part of the process again.
  • Opening a second DataFlow application instead of updating the existing one.

Going for Dubai or Abu Dhabi instead? Costs there are different: see the DHA exam cost and DOH exam cost pages. GPs can find eligibility rules on our MOH GP exam page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the MOHAP evaluation fee for doctors?

MOHAP lists the Health Professional Evaluation fee as AED 500 for physicians and dentists. It is paid online when you submit your application. DataFlow and Prometric fees are separate and come later.

What is the MOHAP fee for nurses and lab technicians?

The evaluation fee is AED 400 for nurses and midwives and AED 300 for allied health professionals, which includes laboratory technicians. When you are hired, the facility pays the licence fee, which MOHAP lists as AED 100 for the application plus AED 1,000 for the licence.

How much does DataFlow cost for MOHAP?

MOHAP does not publish the DataFlow amount on its service page. You see it on the payment link MOHAP sends after approving your evaluation request, and it can depend on how many documents need checking. Upload any previous DataFlow report to avoid paying for the same checks twice.

Do I pay again if I fail the MOHAP exam?

Yes, each attempt needs a new Prometric booking and fee. MOHAP allows a maximum of three attempts per category, and Prometric counts cancelled or no-show appointments as attempts.

Can I pay MOHAP fees with a Pakistani or Indian bank card?

MOHAP, DataFlow and Prometric all take online card payments. Cards issued in Pakistan or India generally work if they are enabled for international online transactions, so ask your bank to turn this on before you start. If a payment fails, do not open a new application; retry on the same one.
