No login required.

⚡ Instant, not days A manual Primary Source Verification check can take days and cost per lookup. This Actor checks live in seconds.

📋 A whole roster, one run Search the registry in bulk by category, specialty, facility, nationality, or area, not one professional at a time.

🔔 Only real changes, on schedule Roster monitor mode reports new or changed license status since the last check, not a full re-dump every time.

🔓 No login required Reads DHA's own public verification tool, the same anonymous lookup anyone can use in a browser.

Point this Actor at a DHA Unique ID, a license number, or a set of registry filters, and pull structured license data, from a single check to a scheduled watch over a whole roster.

🔍 What does this Actor do?

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) keeps the public register of every healthcare professional licensed to practice in Dubai, over 103,000 doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health workers. A license can lapse, get suspended, or simply expire without renewal after someone is already hired, placed, or insured.

This Actor checks that registry for you, in three ways. Look up one professional by their DHA Unique ID or license number. Search the whole registry in bulk with filters like category, specialty, facility, nationality, or area. Or turn on Roster monitor mode and let it re-check a saved roster on a schedule, only reporting professionals who are new or whose license status genuinely changed since the last check.

💡 Who uses this?

• I run a healthcare staffing agency placing nurses and doctors in Dubai. I placed someone months ago. I need to know the day their license status changes, not the day a client asks me about it.
• I handle credentialing for a hospital or clinic. Re-verifying a roster of dozens of professionals one manual check at a time doesn't scale. I need the whole list checked in one pass.
• I work in insurance or compliance. A cancelled or expired license on staff is a liability I need to catch immediately, not discover during an audit.
• I run a background-check or verification service. My clients expect fast, structured license data, not a multi-day manual verification turnaround for every single check.

🚀 How to use

STEP 2 Get the full license record Status, facility, license number, issue and expiry dates for every license a professional has held.

STEP 3 Schedule it and watch for change Name a monitor state and run it on a schedule. Later runs report only what's new or changed.

💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per result: you're charged for the professional records actually written to your dataset, not for the run itself. An empty run that finds no matches or no changes costs nothing. There are no monthly subscriptions or minimum commitments.

Free plan runs are limited in items per run, runs per day, and a short wait between runs. These limits do not apply to paid plans.

✨ Tips

• Look up by DHA Unique ID or license number when you have it. Either works: a license number is automatically reduced to its DHA Unique ID before the lookup.
• Give every monitored roster its own state name. Use a different stateName per client or roster so scheduled runs never mix up their change history.
• Leave fetchDetails off for a fast directory browse. Turn it on only when you actually need license numbers, status, and dates for every result, since it adds time per record.
• Turn onlyNewOrChanged off for a full audit snapshot. Every roster entry is output on every run with its change label attached, useful for a point-in-time compliance record.
• Schedule Roster monitor mode on the Apify Scheduler. Each run after the first reports only what actually moved.

❓ FAQ

Does this Actor need a login or a DHA account?

No. It reads DHA's own public verification and registry pages, the same anonymous lookup anyone can use in a browser without signing in.

How does Roster monitor mode know what changed?

Give it a stateName and run it on a schedule with the same roster. Each run compares the current license status, facility, license number, and dates against what was saved last time, and labels every professional NEW, UPDATED, or UNCHANGED.

What counts as a "change"?

A genuine difference in name, nationality, current status, or license history. Re-checking the same, unchanged record never counts as a change.

How fresh is the data?

Every run reads the DHA registry live at the moment it runs. Results reflect what the public registry shows right then.

Is checking the DHA registry legal?

This Actor reads publicly available verification and registry pages, the same pages DHA makes available to anyone without a login. It is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Dubai Health Authority. You are responsible for complying with DHA's terms of use and applicable law.
