How to Replace a Lost UAE Work Permit
Check the employment record and request replacement evidence through an authorised MOHRE channel.
If you need to replace lost work permit UAE, start with the authority that owns the record. Requirements can depend on your status and the exact transaction, so use the live service page as the final checklist.
1. Confirm the correct service
Write down what you need the final record or approval for. Similar-sounding services can have different applicants, documents and outcomes. Search the official directory using the service name above and check that its description matches your situation.
2. Prepare matching records
Use current identity and contact details. Collect the relevant contract, licence, account, property, vehicle, employment or family record before starting. Names and identification numbers should match across documents; resolve a discrepancy instead of uploading altered evidence.
3. Apply through an authorised channel
Sign in through the authority’s website, app or listed service centre. Review the live eligibility, documents, processing information and calculated charges before submitting. Save the application number and payment receipt.
4. Check the completed result
An application receipt is not the final approval. Download the issued document or confirmation, verify every field and retain its validation reference. If another authority relies on the result, confirm that follow-up separately.
Important cautions
Do not share an OTP, banking password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval. Avoid agents who promise guaranteed decisions or ask for payment to a personal account. For urgent, disputed or unusual cases, contact the authority through details published on its own website.
