Automate verification of contracts and OEC
PROMISE STATUS - DATE: In progress as of 07/17/2023
- The DMW is set to launch its digital application for OFWs once it is approved by the Department of Information and Communications Technology. Through the DMW Mobile Application, OFWs can now secure an OFW Pass that serves as their digital identity.
- Although the OEC may be obtained only through onsite processes, DMW’s new mobile application provides an OFW Pass that will be secured online and remain valid until the expiration of the OFW’s working contract. This is different from an OEC, which is for a one-time use and good for only 60 days.
