Order + diploma file → CNRC/tax → APC → wilaya health authorisation and inspection

Important tip

Foreign diplomas need equivalency at the ministry before the Order will inscribe you — do that before paying a fit-out.

Guidance only — not a licence. Confirm fees, area minima, and portal names with the official regulator before you apply or spend on fit-out.
