The UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MoHRE) issues the labour card to all those who are employed with any firm in country.
It is mandatory for the workers to keep the labour card with them every time as authorities can demand it for checking whenever they want for identification.
The labour card also is also taken as an official proof of employment and a form of identification. The card carries employment details of the worker such as job nature, company name, and expiry date of work permit. You cannot work in the UAE without the employment card.
