Indian doctors are among the largest group of international healthcare professionals applying for DHA licenses. The process is the same as for other nationalities, but document preparation often involves Indian-specific steps.

You will need your MBBS and any postgraduate degree (MD, MS, DNB, etc.) attested by the issuing university, the state medical council, and the MCI/ NMC as applicable. Experience certificates must be on letterhead and attested. Your State Medical Council Good Standing Certificate (or NMC) should be recent, typically not older than six months. Passport and photographs must meet DHA specifications.

DataFlow will verify your credentials with the institutions in India. Ensuring attestation chains and document format are correct from the start avoids delays. We support Indian doctors with checklist preparation and process guidance.
