19 July 2017 - The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) recently launched the iDOLE OFW ID card, an innovation to ease transactions of millions of OFWs with government and private agencies concerning their overseas employment. Guidelines on availment will be issued soon.
Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III said that the OFW ID is a component of the Integrated Department of Labor and Employment (iDOLE) System. It will undergo a three-month pilot run and eventually serve as an OFW’s Automated Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC), and airport and immigration ID pass.
