Conditions, time and validity
- The PRO must have an official file with MOHRE, i.e. a valid work permit (normally with the same establishment).
- Good conduct and character.
- An expatriate PRO may hold only one PRO card, for an owner employing fewer than 100 workers. A UAE national PRO may serve up to three owners (the first with 100+ workers, the others under 100).
- The request is made by the owner/authorised signatory of the establishment.
- Processing time
- MOHRE: 2 working days; approval is automatic when all conditions are met.
- Validity of the result
- An older MOHRE card stated two years; current validity not published (staff confirm).
- Where it is applied for
- MOHRE website and app (with UAE PASS of the owner or authorised signatory), Tasheel/business service centres and the Tawseel mobile service. The centre types the request at a Tasheel centre or files it online for you.
Steps at the authority
- Check the PRO's work permit and get a police clearance certificate.
- Type and submit the PRO card request.
- Pay the typing and card fees; MOHRE checks and approves.
Tips that save you a trip
- Get the police clearance before you come; in Dubai it is issued by Dubai Police online.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- PRO's work permit not with this establishment or expired.
- Expatriate PRO already holds a PRO card, or the owner employs 100+ workers (then a UAE/GCC national PRO is needed).
- Missing or expired police clearance.
Questions and answers
Can our centre's staff be our company's PRO?
No. A MOHRE PRO card is for a person employed by your establishment; our centre handles transactions through Tasheel without a PRO card.
