NHRA is the responsible body for licensing of all health professionals practicing in Bahrain as per law
No. (38) for 2009 to establish NHRA. Licensing of health professionals is regulated by different
professionals’ laws and regulations. The department of Professionals regulations at NHRA is
responsible for issuing all professional licensing and follows an internal process that requires
submitting application forms and documents that are a pre-requisite before issuing the license. In this
booklet we address the procedures and requirements for applying for a new license applications for
non-Bahrainis.
NHRA only accepts complete application submitted through the online system
A license application is considered complete if the following documents are submitted:
Once a decision is reached about an application, the applicant/facility will be notified by email. If the
application is approved and is exempted from the licensure exam, a letter addressed to the Labor
Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) will be issued. If an application is rejected, the reason for the
rejection will be detailed in the correspondence with the applicant/institution.
After the applicant obtains the work permit from LMRA, he/she is required to upload the following
documents with their online application in order for the license to be issued:
1. Copy of CPR (or national card for GCC residents only)
2. Health fitness certificate from a licensed facility in Bahrain
3. Ministry of Education Equalization certificate if requested
Upon submission of the health fitness and CPR, a notice to pay will be generated automatically through
the online system and the applicant is notified.
Once the payment is made online, the license will be printed and the applicant will be notified to collect
his/her license.
Applicants who do not fulfill the licensure exemption criteria are required to pass the Bahrain
Licensure examination prior to being licensed. A letter addressed to LMRA will only be issued upon

clearing the Licensure examination. Please refer to the Licensure examination guideline for further
