Kuwait Launches Smart Worker IDs for the Domestic Labour Sector
To streamline processes and uphold public and occupational interests, the Public Authority for Manpower has introduced the smart worker ID through the My ID application. This initiative aims to ensure greater transparency and efficiency in the domestic labour sector.
According to a press statement released by the Authority, domestic labor offices and companies involved in recruiting workers are now required to issue smart IDs for registered workers using the designated My ID application. Copies of these IDs must be submitted to the Licencing Department of the Department for Regulating the Recruitment of Domestic Workers. Additionally, workers are advised to carry their smart IDs and present them upon request.
The Authority emphasises the importance of vigilance for citizens engaging with recruitment offices and companies. When visiting such establishments, individuals are urged to verify the smart IDs of workers and cross-reference them with the contracts and receipts provided by the offices or companies they are dealing with. This measure aims to enhance security, reduce fraud, and ensure compliance within the domestic labour sector.
