MOL (MOHRE) File Amendment & Renewal Process in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah
MOL (MOHRE) File Amendment & Renewal is an obligatory process of labour compliance for companies operating in the mainland. The MOL file is an official document issued by the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) that gives a company the right to employ its staff members and perform other UAE Labour Law-related tasks.
MOL file change is needed whenever there is a change in company information including company name, type of company, office address, activity, authorized signatory, or type of worker. The renewal is needed to keep the labour file valid in relation to the renewed trade license and establishment card.
Consequences for not correcting or extending the MOL file within the deadline may include blocked work permits, visa delays, MOHRE fines, quota suspension, or WPS compliance problems.
