What are the official MOHRE channels to file a labour complaint in the UAE?

MOHRE offers several official channels for raising a private-sector labour complaint in the UAE, so you can choose the one that suits you. You can file through the MOHRE smart app on your phone, the MOHRE website's e-services, the MOHRE call centre, or in person at an approved service or typing centre that handles MOHRE transactions. Whichever channel you use, you will generally need to provide your personal and contact details, your work permit or labour card information, your employer's details, and a clear description of the dispute, along with supporting documents like your contract and salary records. Using an official MOHRE channel is important: it ensures your complaint is properly registered, assigned to a legal advisor, and tracked through the amicable-settlement stage and, if necessary, referred to the court. Keep the reference number you receive so you can follow up on the status later. Because contact numbers and online service links can be updated, verify the current channels on the official MOHRE portal before filing. If you would like guidance before submitting, you can consult verified UAE legal professionals listed on LEXAI.
