Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) – Qatar
Medical Certificate Attestation in Qatar
When it comes to official, legal or international use of medical certificates in Qatar, MoPH attestation is a must. MoPH regulates the country’s healthcare sector, sets quality standards and ensures that medical documents issued in Qatar are authentic and trustworthy.
Whether you are applying for a Schengen visa, submitting a medical leave request to your employer or preparing documents for international study or work, a medical certificate without MoPH attestation may be considered invalid.
At Hiremate Services, we make it seamless by managing everything on your behalf, from pre-verification to submission and collection, so you can focus on your goals while we handle the paperwork.
What is the MoPH Medical Certificate Attestation?
Medical certificate attestation is the administrative confirmation procedure conducted by the Ministry of Public Health of Qatar. It assures that:
- Your certification was issued by a licensed clinic or hospital in Qatar.
- It is signed and stamped by the doctor.
- The official seal of the hospital or clinic has been utilized.
The certificate contains all the details required, including your full name, Qatar ID/passport number, as well as medical details.
After being attested, the medical certificate is legalized for use within Qatar and beyond Qatar.
Why is MoPH Attestation So Important
Medical certificates are proof of your medical history, fitness, or medical status. Without MoPH certification, these certificates may not be accepted by employers, government offices, or foreign missions.
1. For International Travel & Visa Applications
All countries, including Spain, Schengen, and others, require a MoPH-approved medical certificate as part of the requirement for a visa application.
- Visa Application: Spain and the other Schengen nations require medical certificates stamped by the MoPH.
- Student Visas: Foreign students are normally required to be medically fit.
- Medical Travel: International patients traveling for a cure require certified documents.
2. For domestic use within Qatar
Even in Qatar, MoPH attestation is needed in most cases:
- Employment Requirements: Most employers ask for MoPH-certified certificates for hiring, onboarding or medical leave.
- Government Services: Ministries, schools, and other government entities can request an attested certificate.
3. For Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation
If you want to use your certificate outside the country, MOFA certificate attestation will be required. MOFA only accepts certificates that are initially attested by the MoPH.
Eligibility & Document Requirements
For you to qualify for the MoPH attestation, your medical certificate must:
- Be certified by a licensed clinic or hospital in Qatar.
- Have the official hospital stamp and the doctor's stamp and signature included.

- Physically have your complete name, Qatar ID/passport number, and medical information written down.
