As an employee in the UAE, it may be necessary to provide your labour card number for various services, such as filing a salary complaint or applying for a Golden Visa. Fortunately, obtaining a digital version of your labour card is a quick and easy process through the UAE Pass application, which serves as the national digital identity for both citizens and residents.
To get started, simply download the UAE Pass application and follow the prompts to access your digital labour card. This service is completely free of charge and can be completed in just a few minutes.
It’s important to note that all employees in the UAE are issued a labour card or work permit by either the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or the free zone in which they are employed. This card serves as proof of your legal employment status in the country.
Don’t let the hassle of obtaining your labour card number hold you back from accessing important services. With the UAE Pass application, you can easily and quickly obtain a digital version of your card, ensuring that you have the necessary documentation for any employment-related needs.
How to create a UAE Pass account
To access your labour card number in the UAE, you must first download the UAE Pass app from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and create an account. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
- Download the UAE Pass app and open it. Tap on the ‘Create Account’ option to register as a new user.
