Step 1: Securely Access the Official MOHRE Portal
- Locate the portal – The official MOHRE site is https://www.mohre.gov.ae/. Make sure the URL starts with https:// and the domain is mohre.gov.ae. A typo can lead to a phishing site.
- Navigate to Employee Services – Scroll down until you see the “Employee Services” block and click the “View Approved Contract” link. On mobile, the same link is found under the Employment offers section in the MOHRE app.
- Choose the language – For Arabic speakers, use https://inquiry.mohre.gov.ae/ and select عرض عقد العمل. The page mirrors the English version.
- Log in – Use UAE PASS or your existing MOHRE account. Keep your PIN safe; never share it.
- Enter your contract number – Once authenticated, a search box appears. Paste your 12‑digit contract number and hit Search. The system will display a PDF preview.
- Verify the contract – Check the stamp, employer details, and dates. The PDF should match the preview.
- Download or print – Save the PDF to a secure cloud folder or print a hard copy for visa renewals.
- Check SSL certificate – Look for the green padlock and the exact domain name. If the lock is missing, close the tab immediately.
- Mobile experience – Download the official MOHRE app from Google Play or the App Store for push notifications and offline access.
- Keep your device updated – Older OS versions may not support the latest security certificates, leaving you vulnerable to man‑in‑the‑middle attacks.

Checklist – Required Documents & Next Steps
- [ ] Valid UAE ID or passport
- [ ] Original contract signed by employer
- [ ] Proof of employment (e.g., payslip)
- [ ] Completed MOHRE online application
- [ ] PDF of the verified contract
- [ ] Updated device OS and browser
- [ ] Secure storage of contract PDF
Step 2: Authenticate with UAE PASS or MOHRE Account
We start the journey by proving who we are. The MOHRE portal demands a secure login, and the most common route is UAE PASS single‑sign‑on. If you already own a MOHRE account, that works too. The key is to keep the process smooth and safe.
First, open the portal on desktop or the MOHRE app on mobile. The login screen offers three options:
- UAE PASS – the national digital identity.
- MOHRE account – legacy login with username and password.
- Alternative credentials – for employers who use the Employer Portal.
Choosing UAE PASS sends you to a familiar page. Here you can authenticate with a PIN, biometric scan, or the UAE PASS app. The flow is like a lock turning: you enter the PIN, the system verifies, and you’re inside.
If you prefer biometrics, the app uses your fingerprint or face. The device checks the biometric data locally, then sends a token to the server. After successful authentication, you’re redirected back to the MOHRE service.
What if you forget your PIN? The recovery process is simple but requires identity verification. On the login page, tap “Forgot PIN?” and follow the prompts. You’ll need to answer security questions or provide a government ID. Once verified, you can set a new PIN. Never share this PIN; treat it like a secret diary password.
The authentication process is seamless.
Security best practices are our guardrails. Always check that the URL starts with https:// and ends in mohre.gov.ae. Look for the padlock icon in the browser bar. Keep the UAE PASS app updated, and log out after each session, especially on shared devices. Remember, a weak device is like an unlocked door.
Quick troubleshooting: If you see “Invalid credentials” after a correct PIN, clear your browser cache or switch to a different browser. Some corporate networks block authentication cookies, so try a private window.
For those who don’t have a UAE PASS, the MOHRE account remains a reliable fallback. You’ll log in with the username you received when your contract was approved and a password you set during registration. If you’ve never set a password, the system will prompt you to create one. The login screen also offers a “Forgot password?” link. Clicking it triggers a reset email sent to the address on file. Make sure the email inbox is accessible; phishing emails often mimic the reset link but lead to malicious sites. Always verify the sender’s domain ends in @mohre.gov.ae before clicking.
If you still face issues, contact MOHRE support via the live chat on the portal.
And you’re set to explore.
We’ll next show how to enter your labour contract number and retrieve the PDF. Stay with us for the next step.
Official MOHRE website
We’ve all stared at that 12‑digit code and wondered why it matters. It’s the key that unlocks your MOHRE labour contract online. Without it, visa renewals feel like a maze. With it, you can download the official PDF in seconds. Let’s show you exactly where it sits.
On the “View Approved Contract” page, a single field labeled “Contract Number” is the gateway. This box accepts only a 12‑digit string, no dashes or spaces. Copy the number from the approval email, the employer’s letter, or the printed contract. A common pitfall is including the leading zero or misplacing a digit. We’ll walk through how to avoid that.
Step 1: Highlight the field and paste the number.
If you’re on mobile, tap the input area; on desktop, click inside. The cursor blinks like a tiny lighthouse, ready for your digits.
Step 2: Press “Search” or hit Enter. The system validates the format before querying the database.
If the contract exists, a PDF preview appears. Verify the MOHRE stamp, employer details, and your name. The contract number displayed at the bottom should match the one you entered. A mismatch means you typed incorrectly—double‑check each digit.
Checklist to confirm validity
- 12 digits exactly
- No leading/trailing spaces
- Matches email or printed contract
- Appears in the preview header
- Status shows “Approved” or “Pending” (not “Rejected”)
Troubleshooting
If you get an error, try clearing your browser cache or switching to Chrome/Edge. Ensure the URL is https://www.mohre.gov.ae/en/home.aspx. If the number still fails, contact MOHRE support via the feedback form or call their hotline. Remember, the number never changes once approved.
If you can’t locate the number, look in the original offer letter or ask your employer for a copy. Some companies store it in a PDF attachment labeled “Contract ID”. Keep a digital backup—future visa checks love a quick scan.
Now that you’ve verified the number, you’re ready to download the contract. Click the “Download” button, save the PDF, and keep it in a secure folder. Next, we’ll guide you through checking the contract status and handling any pending approvals.
For more information, visit the official MOHRE website.
When the contract loads, a PDF preview pops up. You can pan, zoom, and scrutinize each line. The top toolbar gives you zoom controls, a fit‑to‑page option, and page navigation. Scroll through the clauses with the bar. Spot the watermark that reads “MOHRE Approved”—that’s your authenticity check.
Checklist for verifying your contract
- Check the MOHRE stamp; it should read “MOHRE” in bold and include the official seal.
- Verify the employer name and address; they must match the offer letter.
- Confirm your employee name, nationality, and passport number; mismatches trigger a red flag.
- Look at the contract number; it must match the 12‑digit ID you entered.
- Review start and end dates; ensure they align with your visa schedule.
- Spot the signature lines; both employer and employee signatures should be present.
- Validate the digital signature; click the padlock icon to see the certificate details.
- Ensure page numbering is sequential; missing pages signal a corrupted PDF.
- Check the contract version number at the bottom; it should be the latest.
- Verify the PDF version field; it should be 1.7 or higher.
Once you’re happy, click the Download icon to grab the PDF. It’s usually under 2 MB, so sending it via email or storing it is a breeze. Need a paper copy? Hit Print and set your printer preferences.
Use the search bar to locate key terms like “salary” or “benefits.” The viewer highlights matches, so missing items stand out. Bookmark the signature page for quick access.
Store the PDF in a secure folder or encrypted cloud. Don’t leave it on public devices—losing it can delay visa renewals. Add a password or enable two‑factor authentication for extra safety. If you prefer local storage, zip it with encryption. Back it up to an external drive on a regular basis.

Step 5: Check Contract Status and Interpret Results
Now that we’ve pulled up your contract, it’s time to figure out where it sits. The MOHRE portal shows a status dropdown with three options: Approved, Pending, or Rejected. Those labels aren’t just fluff—they tell you what moves next.
Approved
The contract has cleared all checks. You can download, print, and keep it as proof. If you see this, congratulations—everything is good. If you need to share it with your employer, just attach the PDF to your email.
Pending
The contract is still under review. Processing usually takes 24 to 48 hours. If it stays pending beyond 48 hours, it might be stuck. In that case, request an update via the portal’s status request form.
Rejected
MOHRE found a problem. Common reasons include missing documentation, mismatched details, or employer errors. You’ll receive a notification with the reason. Contact your employer to fix the issue and resubmit.
| Status | Meaning | Recommended Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Approved | Contract Address verified; contract active. | Download, print, store. |
| Pending | Under review. | Wait 24–48 h; if longer, request an update via the portal. |
| Rejected | Issue found. | Contact employer, fix, resubmit. |
To ask for an update, go to the contract status page and click Request Update. Fill in the brief form. For extra help, head over to the official MOHRE portal: MOHRE Official Site.
Keep your contract number handy; it speeds the process.
With the status clear, you’re ready to move on to the next step—verifying the contract details. Let’s dive into that next.
