MUSCAT : The service applies when one or both prospective spouses have completed their premarital medical examinations abroad, subject to meeting the ministry’s approved medical requirements.

According to the Ministry of Health, the initiative enables applicants to submit their medical test results online, receive medical advice through a virtual consultation and obtain the required certificate without having to make repeated visits to health institutions.

To access the service, applicants must visit the electronic health portal at moh.gov.om and follow these steps:

1. Log in to the electronic health portal.
2. Select ‘Our Services’, followed by ‘Individual Services’.
3. Open the ‘Premarital Medical Examination’ section.
4. Select ‘Start Service’ and verify their identity.
5. Submit the application with the required information and supporting documents.
   
   A doctor at the ministry’s virtual clinic will review the submitted information and determine whether the application is accepted, rejected, pending or under review. Any rejection or postponement will be accompanied by an explanation in the application notes.
   
   Applicants will receive a notification containing details of their medical consultation appointment and a link to attend the video call. Following the consultation, medical advice will be provided and the certificate issued in accordance with the approved procedures.
   
   The required documents include the results report of the premarital medical examination conducted outside Oman. Where one of the prospective spouses is a non-Omani, a copy of their valid identification document, either a passport or a permanent residence card in Oman, must also be submitted.
   
   The ministry stipulates that all required examinations must be completed in accordance with Oman’s approved premarital medical examination guidelines. Test results submitted through the service must also be authenticated through the officially approved channels, including the relevant health authority and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
