UAE: How to check your labour card details online, get physical copy

In the UAE, all employees are required to have a labour card, which is issued by the free zone they work in or by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).

This card serves as an official proof of employment and is also an important form of identification. It contains key details such as your job, who you work for, and the expiry of your work permit. Without a valid labour card, you can't legally work in the UAE.

The labour card is important not just for residents, but also for those benefiting from the country's visa amnesty programme, which runs until December 31. In just the first two weeks of the scheme, more than 4,000 individuals have already been interviewed by various companies. Those who secure jobs through this initiative will need a labour card to start working legally.

Aside from ensuring compliance with employment laws, having a labour card gives you a sense of security, assuring you that you are working legally.

While the UAE no longer issues physical labour cards, you can easily download and print a copy if you prefer to have one. Though the digital version may seem more convenient, some might still find a physical copy handy.

Here's how you can get yours:

Mohre website

• Go to Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre) website (mohre.gov.ae)
• Click 'Services' at the top of the site
• From the menu, select 'New Enquiry Services.'

• You will then be directed to https://inquiry.mohre.gov.ae/
• In the 'Choose a Service' option, select 'Print Electronic Work Permit'

• Fill in the requirements such as your work permit number, transaction number, person code, and your date of birth

• Once you've filled in the required details, click 'Search'

• Once you've clicked 'Searched', you will then be directed to your electronic labour card

• If you decide to get a physical copy, select the 'Print' option

Mohre app

• Sign in to your Mohre app using your UAE Pass
• Tap 'Employee'
• Enter your labour card number

• Once you entered your labour card number, the app will then show your labour card
• You can then choose to have it printed by tapping 'Print'.

Finding your labour information

If you're unsure about your labour information, you can contact Mohre at 600590000. When you call, you'll need to provide your Emirates ID number for verification. Once confirmed, they will share all your labour details over the phone.

Alternatively, you can also log in to the Mohre app and access the 'Dashboard'. There, you'll find most of your information, but your transaction number won't be displayed. To find that, you'll need to refer to your employment contract.
