How to Check Labour Card Fees: The UAE Expat’s Essential Starter Guide
Want to know exactly how much your labour card will cost? Just log into the MOHRE portal, head over to the Labour Card section, and it will show you the exact fee before you pay. The Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) sets the fee schedule, and we’ll decode it together.
That’s why we’re here—to show you how to check labour card fees without the headache. We’ll walk through the numbers and the steps that keep your card alive.
For the most up‑to‑date fee schedule, refer to the official MOHRE fee table here: MOHRE Labour Card Fees.
Quick Reference
| Action | Fee (AED) |
|---|---|
| New Issuance | 1,000 |
| Renewal | 800 |
| Replacement | 900 |
Log into MOHRE, go to Labour Card, and the portal shows the exact fee before payment, no express delays.
If you’re renewing, remember the 15‑day grace period after expiry; missing it triggers a 50 % surcharge.
Keep this guide handy, and you’ll breeze through renewals, replacements, and new issuances without a hitch.

The fees are set by MOHRE and rarely change, but keep an eye on official updates. We’ll revisit any changes in the next sections.
When you hit the payment gateway, double‑check the amount; a typo can lock you out of the portal for days.
If you’re on a tight schedule, the MOHRE Authenticator app speeds up the biometric step. It’s like a digital fingerprint that seals the deal instantly.
Remember, a timely renewal keeps your residency valid and saves you a hefty penalty. Treat it as a health check for your UAE life.
