Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Dubai and the Northern Emirates are advised to register on the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) E-Registration Portal at https://portal.dmw.gov.ph even before they have their employment documents verified. This step is essential to facilitate the issuance of your Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) after contract verification—whether the verification is done onsite manually at MWO-Dubai or through online processing.
For assistance with the registration process, please refer to the attached Account Creation and Account Recovery Guides with step-by-step instructions.
Important Reminders:
▪ Workers who already have an active E-Registration account from https://onlineservices.dmw.gov.ph are advised not to create a new account as they may simply log on to the DMW portal using their existing credentials.
▪ Creation of multiple accounts is not allowed and may result in issues with OEC processing.
▪ Even if the contract has not yet been verified, OFWs are strongly encouraged to register on the portal so that their accounts are ready for OEC issuance once documents are verified.
Early registration helps ensure a smoother and faster OEC issuance process.
