Check Iqama Through MOL / Qiwa
The labor ministry service on Qiwa (still widely called 'MOL') is the best option when you want to check your Iqama status tied to your employment — and it works without a personal Absher account. This guide focuses on the MOL/Qiwa method: which inquiry to use, what you need, and when to choose it over the other methods.
To check via MOL, use the labor inquiry service on Qiwa. Enter your Iqama number and date of birth, complete the verification, and your Iqama status is shown. It is especially useful for employment-linked checks — including signs of issues like a Huroob report — and it does not require a personal Absher login.
Checking via MOL / Qiwa, step by step
The Ministry of Human Resources (MOL) provides a public worker inquiry through Qiwa. Here is how to use it.
Via MOL / Qiwa
MOL / Qiwa is the labor ministry platform, useful when you do not have an Absher account.
- Go to the labor inquiry service on Qiwa (Ministry of Human Resources).
- Select the service to validate worker or Iqama information.
- Enter your Iqama number and your date of birth (Hijri or Gregorian).
- Enter the captcha code and submit to view your Iqama status.
When to use the MOL method
The MOL/Qiwa route is the natural choice when your question is employment-related. Because it draws on labor records, it is well suited to confirming your worker status and spotting employment issues, not just the basic expiry date.
If you only want to confirm validity and see the expiry date, MOI is equally good. But if you are checking around a job change, a dispute, or a possible Huroob, the labor platform is the more relevant source.
Common MOL / Qiwa issues
My date of birth is rejected
This is usually a Hijri vs Gregorian mismatch — your birth date may be recorded in the Hijri calendar. Switch the calendar option and try again.
I cannot find the right inquiry
Look for the worker or labor information validation service. The platform changes over time, so search within Qiwa's services if the layout has moved.
The result is unclear
For employment issues like Huroob specifically, see our dedicated Huroob status guide, which explains what each result means.
Is your Iqama about to expire?

Frequently asked questions
Is MOL the same as Qiwa?
MOL refers to the labor ministry (now the Ministry of Human Resources), and Qiwa is its main platform. People use the terms interchangeably for these inquiries.
Do I need an account?
The public worker inquiry generally needs only your Iqama number and date of birth, not a personal Absher login.
Can it show a Huroob report?
The labor platform is the relevant place for employment-status issues. See our Huroob status check guide for detail.
Can I check this for free?
Yes. Checking your status through the official government portals is free of charge. You only pay when you carry out a paid transaction such as a renewal.
Do I need an Absher account?
Not always. While Absher is the most complete option, several checks also work through the MOI and labor ministry portals without a personal Absher login.
What details do I need?
Usually your Iqama number is enough. Some portals also let you search using your passport number, border number, date of birth or other details.
