How to Check and Print a UAE Electronic Work Permit
Use MOHRE’s official inquiry services to check an electronic work permit and print the available permit record without paying an unofficial agent.
The practical answer
MOHRE’s inquiry portal includes electronic work-permit information and printing services. The permit record is different from an employment contract, residence permit or Emirates ID. Check each document separately when an employer, bank or authority asks for proof of employment.
How to handle it
1. Collect the correct identifiers
Use the transaction, work-permit, person or establishment details requested by the official inquiry. Do not guess numbers from a visa sticker.
2. Select the permit inquiry
Choose electronic work-permit information or printing from MOHRE’s inquiry menu. Confirm that the domain is the ministry’s official service.
3. Compare the employment details
Review the worker, employer, occupation, permit status and dates shown. A mismatch should be raised with the employer and MOHRE before relying on the record.
4. Save the official output
Print or download the ministry-generated page and keep the transaction reference. Use the separate contract inquiry if the receiver needs contractual terms.
Important: A work-permit printout does not prove that salary is current, a residence visa is valid or employment has not changed after the displayed update.
Before you act
MOHRE’s inquiry portal lists electronic work-permit information and printing among its services. Available search fields and outputs depend on the permit and transaction type.
