NMBI registration through the Qualified Outside the EU route
NMBI evaluates foreign nursing qualifications against Irish clinical standards, requiring verified transcripts, PNC registration certificates, and English test scores (OET or IELTS) before determining whether an adaptation programme or Royal College of Surgeons aptitude test is required.
Ireland accepts the MOFA apostille for Pakistani educational and civil records. We manage your HEC verification, university transcript requests, and MOFA apostille processing.

How the nursing council works
Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI)
Registers nurses and midwives for practice in Ireland.
Primary-source verification
- NMBI runs the Qualified Outside the EU application, which collects your education, registration, and employment evidence for assessment.
- An English test through OET or IELTS is part of the eligibility file.
Competency and language
- After the assessment, NMBI may require compensation measures, such as an adaptation period of supervised practice in Ireland or an aptitude test, depending on the gaps identified in your file.
Council filing and documents
- Submit the NMBI Qualified Outside the EU application with your documents, complete the English evidence, then complete any adaptation period or aptitude test NMBI requires.
- We prepare and file the Pakistan-side document work, and the NMBI application and assessment run on the NMBI systems.
Processing estimate
NMBI processing varies, so plan for several months across the application, English test, and any adaptation or aptitude test.
Registration renewal
NMBI registration renews on a set cycle with continuing professional development evidence.

What professionals say about this route
Clients who took the nurse file through NMBI and the Pakistan-side document chain.
“I needed an apostille for my Masters admission in Germany. MOFA processed it in three days and I had scans before it even shipped. Watching my originals move gave peace of mind.”

“The Hague apostille saved me weeks over the old embassy route for my UK work visa. HEC attestation plus MOFA apostille was all I needed and Attestdone finished the sequence in eight working days.”
Dr. Farhan Iqbal

“My MBBS scroll had to be received by the Dubai Health Authority before my residency started. Attestdone collected the scans from my home in DHA, filed the HEC application online, and I had the e-Attestation Certificate in three working days. The status updates they sent eased my nerves.”
