How to Verify Your UAE Labour Contract on the MOHRE App
How to Verify Your UAE Labour Contract on the MOHRE App
One of the oldest scams in Indian recruitment involves "fake promises." An agent will hand you a beautiful, stamped offer letter stating you will earn 3,000 AED as a technician in Dubai. You pay the agent ₹1 Lakh, fly to Dubai, and discover your real salary is only 1,200 AED as a cleaner.
You can stop this scam in 2 minutes using your smartphone.
Before you hand over your passport or pay an agent, you must verify the contract with the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
Step-by-Step Verification Process
1. Download the App Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download the official **MOHRE UAE** app. It is a free, official government application.
2. Navigate to the Service - Open the app (you do not need to create an account or log in). - Click on the **"Services"** icon at the bottom of the screen. - Scroll down and click on **"View Approved Contract"** or **"Application Status"**.
3. Enter Your Details You will be asked to search using either your **Transaction Number** (which your agent should give you) or your **Passport Number**. - Select "Passport Details." - Enter your Indian Passport Number exactly as printed. - Select your Nationality (India). - Enter your Date of Birth.
4. Read the Truth If the company in Dubai has actually applied for your visa, the app will instantly display your official, legally binding Labour Contract.
You must check three things: 1. Basic Salary: Is it the same amount the agent promised you? 2. Profession (Job Title): If you applied as an Electrician, does the contract say "Electrician" or does it say "Laborer"? 3. Allowances: Does it clearly state that accommodation and food are provided?
If the MOHRE app says "No Data Found," the agent has not processed any official paperwork for you. The "offer letter" they gave you is likely a piece of paper they typed up on their own computer.
