OFW ID card is out for Filipinos across Globe

Overseas Filipino Workers in UAE

ID Card for Overseas Filipino Workers is started rolling out.

Thanks to Government of Philippines for such huge achievement, the unified identification card system is a project of the Philippine Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) firstly launched in July 2017 to replace the current “Exit Pass” (EP) or Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC).


The exit pass, which most OFWs would like to be abolished, proves that an overseas Filipino worker has been hired legally and intends to go back to the same employer (company) abroad.

The overseas Filipino worker ID entitles Filipino workers to airport and travel tax exemptions levied by the government of Philippine.

One Filipino expats user named Aaron, who acquired an OEC last week, said he tried many times to apply but failed.
Aaron Said: “I got my OEC last week and tried to register but the prompt keeps saying ‘For further verification, please proceed to nearest POEA Office,”.
Another expat named Nits commented on Facebook and said she tried to apply several times and followed the instructions to no avail.
One of the overseas Filipino worker was able to successfully register said: “ID for pick-up soon! I used my OEC issued on October 23.”

Will this time it will work for all:
The much-awaited OFW ID is out but this card will only be available to OFWs returning to the Philippines on its first phase of implementation.

In a statement, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the issuance of the ID card will be limited to returning OFWs or Balik Manggagawa for now.

“This is only the first phase of implementation and will cater first to our Balik-Manggagawa until the system is ready for all OFWs. We are doing this to secure the database and for further improvements in the system,” Bello said in the statement.

Mr. President Rodrigo Duterte last week himself presented the Identity cards to overseas Filipino workers who had just landed in Manila for their annual vacations.

The overseas Filipino worker ID is being issued for free as funded by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.
The first phase of the system links Philippine Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
