Someone has issued a work permit or a labor card using my details. What to do?

Dear Concern,

This is an absurd issue I need help with. Someone has issued a work permit or a labor card using my details (passport information) without my consent.

When I attempted to apply for my first-ever employment visa, the system indicated that I already have a work permit or labor card with another company.

Tasheel provided me with the labor information and a company name that I am unfamiliar with. How should I proceed and get assistance from the authority in this matter?

Please note that I have never applied for employment in the UAE before.

Dear Questioner,

I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're facing. Discovering that a work permit or labor card has been issued under your name without your consent can indeed be alarming.

Here are steps you can take to address this issue:

1. Contact the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE):

Reach out to MOHRE as soon as possible to report the unauthorized issuance of the work permit or labor card. You can contact them through their website, email, or by visiting one of their customer service centers. Provide them with all the relevant details, including your passport information, the company name mentioned in the labor information you received from Tasheel, and any other pertinent information.

2. File a Complaint:

Submit a formal complaint to MOHRE regarding the unauthorized use of your personal information. Include as much detail as possible about the situation, including when you first became aware of the issue, any communication you've had with the company mentioned, and any evidence you have that supports your claim of unauthorized use of your identity.

3. Request Investigation:

Ask MOHRE to conduct an investigation into the matter to determine how your personal information was used without your consent and to take appropriate action against the responsible parties.

4. Seek Legal Advice:

Consider consulting with a legal advisor or attorney who specializes in employment and labor law in the UAE. They can provide guidance on your rights and legal options for addressing the unauthorized use of your identity and may be able to assist you in navigating the process with MOHRE.

5. Follow up Regularly:

Stay in regular contact with MOHRE to track the progress of their investigation and ensure that appropriate action is being taken to resolve the issue. Be persistent in following up on your complaint until you receive a satisfactory resolution.

6. Protect Your Identity:

Take steps to protect your personal information and prevent further unauthorized use. This may include monitoring your credit report for any suspicious activity, changing your passwords for online accounts, and being cautious about sharing personal information in the future.

It's important to address this issue promptly and thoroughly to protect your rights and ensure that your identity is not further compromised.

By taking these steps and seeking assistance from the appropriate authorities, you can work towards resolving the situation and preventing any negative consequences for your employment prospects in the UAE.

Yes, you can file a lawsuit against the company that issued you a business card without your permission and cancel it, and also file a lawsuit for compensation against the company.
