2. Fill in the contract information
3. Print out the contract and sign it
4. Upload the signed contract and additional required documents
5. Pay the authentication fees after getting the Ministry’s approval
6. Print a certified copy of the authenticated contract

Who can use: Employers who are subject to labour law

What you need before you proceed:

• A smart card to access the service through the National Authentication System (NAS)
• A valid bank card to pay fees online (payment gateway is linked to Hukoomi website)
