What NUID registration covers
The National Unique Identification Number (NUID) is a unique 15-digit identifier issued by the Indian Nursing Council to every registered nurse in India. Mandated since 2021, NUID links your nursing qualifications to a central registry, making it easier to verify credentials for employment, licensing in other states, and international applications.
Medisol handles your NUID registration from start to finish — we verify your documents with your state nursing council, submit your application to the Indian Nursing Council portal, and track it until your NUID is issued. Most nurses receive their number within 2-4 weeks.
Whether you're a fresh graduate, renewing your registration, or need NUID for a GCC or Europe license application, we ensure your submission is accurate and complete the first time.

Frequently asked questions
How long does NUID registration take?
Most NUID applications are processed within 2-4 weeks from the date of submission, depending on your state nursing council's response time. Some states like Kerala and Karnataka process faster (10-15 days), while others may take up to 6 weeks during peak periods. We track your application daily and keep you updated.
Is NUID mandatory for working in India?
Yes. Since 2021, NUID is mandatory for all registered nurses in India. Employers, hospitals, and state councils now require your NUID for job appointments, license renewals, and verification. It's also essential if you're applying for nursing licenses in the GCC, UK, Ireland, or other international destinations.
What if my state council registration has expired?
You need a valid state council registration to apply for NUID. If yours has expired, we can help you renew it first — most states allow online renewal within 2-3 weeks. Once renewed, we'll proceed with your NUID application immediately. Contact us on WhatsApp to check your renewal requirements.
Can I apply for NUID if I studied nursing outside India?
Yes, but you must first have your foreign nursing qualification recognised by the Indian Nursing Council and obtain registration with your state nursing council. Once you hold Indian state council registration, you're eligible for NUID. We can guide you through the equivalence process if needed.
What happens if my NUID application is rejected?
Rejections are rare and usually due to document mismatches (spelling differences, missing seals, or incomplete registration details). If this happens, we identify the issue, correct the documents, and resubmit at no extra charge. Our pre-submission verification ensures a 98% first-attempt approval rate.
Do I need NUID for a DHA or MOH license application?
Yes. DHA, MOH, HAAD, and other GCC health authorities require NUID as part of the primary source verification process. DataFlow and other verification agencies request NUID to confirm your nursing credentials with the Indian Nursing Council. We include NUID registration in our full licensing packages for the GCC.
