Conditions, time and validity

  • Requested by the establishment that holds the record (authorised signatory or PRO).
  • MOHRE checks the worker's data against immigration (ICP/GDRFA) records before deducting the record.
  • Fines for late issue or non-renewal of the work permit must be paid first (unused permits are excluded).
Processing time
No official time published (staff confirm; the price list allows 3 days).
Validity of the result
The record no longer appears on the establishment's MOHRE file.
Where it is applied for
MOHRE website and smart app, business service centres (Tasheel) and Tawseel; the centre submits it for you through Tasheel.

Steps at the authority

  1. Tell us which old record to close (worker name or permit number).
  2. We submit the record deduction request through Tasheel with the supporting details.
  3. MOHRE reviews it against immigration data and removes the record or asks for more proof.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Ask us to print the establishment's worker list first; it shows which records are old or duplicated before you pay.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Unpaid fines for late issue or non-renewal of the work permit.
  • The worker is still inside the UAE on that record.

Questions and answers

Will old fines be charged?

Possibly: fines for late issue or non-renewal of a used permit must be paid before cancellation. Staff check the amount in the system first.
