Dubai residents could soon cancel labour cards at residency department

Dubai: Labour Card cancellation could soon be done at the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) and at its offices in Dubai.

Those who need to cancel their labour cards can complete the procedure of cancellation at the DNRD without the need to visit the Ministry of Labour.

A team from DNRD and the Labour Ministry is studying the possibilities of implementing the new service.

Humaid Bin Deemas, assistant undersecretary at the ministry, said the new service will benefit a large number of expatriates.

Major Khalifa Mattar Balkoba'a, head of external centre sector at DNRD, said the department is looking forward to provide the best service.

He said it is a one-stop-visit option to assess the needs and administrative requirements.
