How does a UAE employer register labour accommodation with MOHRE?

Last updated

Through the labour camps service on MOHRE's website. Administrative Decision No. 19 of 2023 says establishments covered by Article 4 of Resolution 44 of 2022 must register their accommodation, owned or rented, by creating an account, then submitting a registration with the accommodation type, such as labour city, permanent or temporary housing, apartments or villas, and the supporting details.

Information needed

For the account: personal details, contract, ID, the unified number, the Ejari licence number if available, and copies of photo, passport and Emirates ID. Verification codes arrive by email and text.

Keeping it accurate

Resolution 44 requires the employer to ensure the information in the system stays valid, so moving workers to a new camp means updating the registration.

Where SupaJack Construct fits

SupaJack Construct does not include a safety or incident module. Inspection records with dates and attached documents sit with each project, and HR records hold each worker's documents, which a safety officer can use alongside a dedicated safety system.

Worked example

A contractor rents a 300-bed labour accommodation building in Sonapur for a new project. It registers the building in MOHRE's labour camps system as permanent housing with the lease and licence details before moving the workers in, and updates the record when the lease is renewed.

Questions people ask

Does rented accommodation need registering?

Yes.

Where is it registered?
