MOH & MOE Process | Document Sets | Portal Uploads
Whether you’re a nurse, student, or health professional in Kuwait preparing for licensing, job updates, or equivalency, you’ll need to go through education certificate verification. The process may seem complicated — but with this blog, you’ll know exactly where to go, what documents to bring, and how to finish it in fewer visits.
🔁 How the Process Works (Overview)
- You must first visit the Ministry of Health (MOH) to request a covering letter. This covering letter is required for both:
- ✅ Lower Education Verification (10th & 12th certificates)
- ✅ Higher Education Verification (Degree certificate)
- After getting the MOH covering letter:
- Proceed to the Ministry of Education (MOE) to verify your Lower education certificates.
- After completing MOE verification, you’ll upload the lower report to the Equivalency Portal, and then proceed to Higher verification through MOH.
🗂️ Step 1: Prepare 2 Sets of Documents for MOH Submission
At MOH, you will need to carry two separate document sets:
📁 Set 1 – For Lower Education Verification (10th & 12th)
- MOFA-attested 10th certificate (all pages)
- MOFA-attested 12th certificate (all pages)
- Civil ID (both sides or Mobile ID)
- Salary Certificate
- Photocopies of all documents
📁 Set 2 – For Higher Education Verification (Degree)
- MOFA-attested Degree certificate copy
- Civil ID (both sides or Mobile ID)
- Salary Certificate
- Photocopies of all documents
📌 Tip: Label your sets clearly as “For Lower” and “For Higher” inside clear plastic folders.
🏛️ Step 2: Visit MOH to Get the Covering Letter
📍 Ministry of Health – File Section
- Go to Room 15 – File Section
Staff will check both sets of documents and write your year of passing. - Go to Room 25 – Typing Section
They will type a bilingual Arabic covering letter requesting verification. - Get it signed by Ms. Anwar.
- Submit in Room 16.
Your request will be officially received, and you’ll get a token/reference. - Head to the General Contract Department (End Container Building):
- Left-side cabinet: Your documents will be stamped with the MOH seal.
- Main cabin: Staff will upload your documents into the system and confirm verbally once the process is done.
You’ll receive back both sets of documents after the MOH covering process is complete.
🗂️ Step 3: Prepare 2 Sets of Documents for MOE Submission (Lower Verification)
Once you have your MOH covering letter in hand, you must prepare two sets again, specifically for the Ministry of Education (MOE).
📁 MOE Set 1 (With Originals)
- Original MOH covering letter / request letter for Lower
- 10th certificate (all pages) – original + MOFA attested
- 12th certificate (all pages) – original + MOFA attested
- Civil ID or Mobile ID (both sides)
📁 MOE Set 2 (Photocopies Only)
- 10th certificate (attested, all pages)
- 12th certificate (attested, all pages)
- Civil ID / Mobile ID (both sides)
🖇️ Note: These are separate from the sets you brought to MOH. MOE requires two fresh sets of the same documents.
🏫 Step 4: Lower Education Verification at Ministry of Education (MOE)
📍 Location: Department for Private Education, Mubarak Al Kabeer, Block 2
🗺️ Google Maps
✅ Process at MOE:
- Get a token from the reception for the English Certificate Section.
- Submit both sets (Set 1 and Set 2) to the officer.
- Be ready to show original certificates on request.
- Wait for them to check and issue the verification report. In many cases, you receive it the same day; if not, they will inform you when to return.
🌐 Step 5: Upload to Equivalency Portal & Continue with Higher Verification
After receiving the Lower verification report:
- Scan and upload the report to the Higher Equivalency Portal.
- Once uploaded, you can now proceed to officially start your Higher (degree) verification through MOH or the equivalency portal, depending on your licensing path (MOH, KIMS, etc.).
✅ Final Checklist
| Task | Document Sets | Department |
|---|---|---|
| Get MOH Covering Letter | 2 sets (1 for Lower, 1 for Higher) | MOH (Rooms 15, 25, 16, Contract Dept.) |
| Submit Lower Verification | 2 sets (fresh Lower sets) | MOE – Mubarak Al Kabeer |
| Upload Lower Report | 1 scanned report | Equivalency Portal |
| Proceed to Higher Verification | Degree set (already prepared) | MOH portal or in-person |
