The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) E-Registration System is the central digital portal for all Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)—both land-based and sea-based. Replacing the former POEA e-Registration and BM Online systems, this portal allows workers to manage their professional employment profiles, secure Overseas Employment Certificates (OEC) or exemptions, and verify agency contracts entirely online.

Prerequisites Before Registering

Gather the following items and credentials before starting your registration:

Valid Email Address: Must be active to receive temporary passwords and account notifications.
Valid Passport: Details (full legal name, passport number, expiration) must match your passport exactly.
PEOS Certificate Number: First-time applicants must complete the Pre-Employment Orientation Seminar (PEOS) beforehand.
Government Identifiers: SSS, Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth numbers for profile integration.

How to Create a DMW E-Registration Account

Important Rule: Every OFW is legally allowed only ONE (1) E-Registration account. If you worked abroad previously, do not create a new account—use the account retrieval options instead.

1. Access the DMW PortalU (Use a desktop or mobile browser)

Navigate to the official portal at onlineservices.dmw.gov.ph. Click Let's Go! under the e-Registration tab.

2. Click Register (Accept Terms of Service)

Select Register and read the DMW Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Click I Accept to proceed.

3. Input Personal Information (Must match your passport exactly)

Type your given name, middle name, last name, suffix, gender, and birthdate as shown on your official passport. Input your active email address.

4. Retrieve Temporary Password (Sent directly to your inbox)

Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a system-generated message containing your temporary password.

5. Log In and Set New Password (Secure your account access)

Return to the portal login screen. Sign in with your email and temporary password, then immediately create a strong, permanent password.

Once logged in, your account status will show as Incomplete until all mandatory tabs under My Profile are completed:

Personal Details: Enter permanent home address, civil status, contact number, and government IDs (SSS, Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth).

Education & Training: List high school, college, or vocational courses completed.

Do not register a new account. Click Forgot Password on the login screen or submit an account recovery ticket via the DMW HelpDesk tab.

My profile name has a typo compared to my passport. How can I correct it?

Names cannot be manually edited after registration to prevent identity fraud. Submit an online request via the DMW HelpDesk to request a correction along with a scan of your passport.
