The Migrant Workers Office (MWO) in Dubai and the Northern Emirates offers various options for contract verification, catering to different circumstances and schedules. Verifying employment contracts is a crucial step for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to ensure compliance with labor regulations and protect their rights while working abroad.
One way to get your contract verified is through appointment-based verification. This involves scheduling a meeting with the MWO in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Ensure that you have all the necessary documents and follow the guidelines for a smooth verification process.
For those who are about to fly back to the Philippines and couldn't secure an appointment, there is an option for walk-in verification. This allows you to verify your contract in person, even if you are already in the Philippines. However, be cautious and avoid unauthorized individuals or fixers during this process.
If OFWs were unable to verify their contracts before going on vacation, they can authorize a representative to complete the process on their behalf. It is important to be vigilant of fake appointment links, and booking should be done through the official channels provided by the agency.
Additionally, OFWs with valid employment visas from various Emirates can opt for online submission of their contracts for verification. This method, available with or without confirmed flights, offers same-day processing if all requirements are met. The authorized representative handling the online submission should bring an authorization letter, a copy of their ID, the OFW's confirmed flight ticket, and the complete set of necessary documents.
Each Monday, a new online submission form opens to accommodate up to 500 applications. It is crucial to stay updated on the submission process and requirements to ensure a hassle-free contract verification experience.
