What to Check Before You Sign

💰

Salary in writing

The monthly salary must be stated in numbers in the currency of the destination country. 'Negotiable' is not acceptable.

Working hours

Standard is 8 hours/day. Domestic workers: max 12 hours/day with 1 hour break. Overtime must be paid extra.

✈️

Repatriation

The contract must state that the employer pays your return air ticket at end of contract or in case of medical emergency.

🏥

Medical insurance

Your employer must provide medical insurance or bear medical costs. Clarify before you leave.

📋

Your copy of contract

You are entitled to a signed copy of your employment contract. Never travel without it.

🛂

Passport stays with you

No employer is legally allowed to hold your passport. If this is asked of you, contact the Sri Lanka Embassy immediately.

How to Check Your SLBFE Registration Status

This is the question workers ask most and the one SLBFE answers least clearly. There is no single “check my registration status” page on slbfe.lk. Registration, renewal, complaints and the country-specific G2G programmes each live on a different sub-portal, and one of the login pages is written for agency staff rather than for workers — which is why so many people end up on the wrong screen. Below is the map, walked end-to-end and verified on 2026-08-13.

Which SLBFE portal do you actually need?

Your situationWhere to go
First-time registration, or changing to a new employer abroadOnline Self Registration

Create an account, then open the SLBFE Registration section. Your submitted registration lives inside this account — this is the closest thing to a status page.

Renewing a registration with the same employerNew / Renew Registration

Renewal can also be done at a Sri Lanka diplomatic mission while you are abroad, or by a next-of-kin at an SLBFE office with photocopies of your visa and passport.

Applying to the Israel G2G programmeIsrael G2G application portal

A completely separate system. It offers an eligibility check, instructions, create an application and remove an application — an account here is not the same as your SLBFE registration.

Applying to the Japan programmeJapan programme portal

Again separate. Korea recruitment is announced through the SLBFE recruitment pages rather than a standing portal.

Following up a complaint you already lodgedOnline Complaint Management

A different system again — it tracks complaints, not registrations. SLBFE describes it as: you can check the progress of your complaint.

Checking whether your agency is actually licensedValid Licensed Agencies search

Search by labour licence number, agency name, address, district or destination country. Do this before you pay anyone.

Checking your own registration, step by step

  1. 1

    Go to the Online Self Registration login

    Open services.slbfe.lk/main/logon. SLBFE states that an account is mandatory to access its online programs, and the same page carries Sign In, Sign Up and Forgot Password.

  2. 2

    Create an account if you have never used the portal

    The official SLBFE instructions list exactly six fields: NIC number, first name, last name, mobile number, email address and password. Use the same NIC and mobile number that appear on your registration paperwork, or the records will not line up.

  3. 3

    Recover the account if you registered before and forgot the password

    Use Forgot Your Password. SLBFE resets it using your ID number plus a verification code sent by SMS to the mobile number already held in the system — so a changed phone number is the usual reason this fails.

  4. 4

    Open the SLBFE Registration section

    After login you land on a dashboard of icons. The SLBFE instructions direct applicants to the SLBFE REGISTRATION icon; your registration application and its progress sit inside it.

  5. 5

    If nothing appears, confirm offline

    A registration done at a counter, at a branch office or through an agency may not be visible in a self-service account you created later. Confirm it by phone or in person before you assume you are unregistered.

“It says I need to be authorized personnel”

SLBFE’s account page at services.slbfe.lk/account/ext_account_main is a chooser with three separate doors: public users (migrant workers), authorized personnel (local agencies, foreign agencies and mission staff), and development officers of the Ministry of Labour and Foreign Employment. The instruction to “request access to authorized personnel” belongs to the last two. As a worker, take the public-user route into the services portal and create your own account.

When the portal cannot tell you

A registration completed at a counter or through an agency may simply not appear in a self-service account you opened later, and no online screen will confirm it for you. SLBFE lists its hotline as 1989 (or +94 11 2 880 500) and [email protected], with the Head Office at 234, Denzil Kobbekaduwa Mawatha, Koswatta, Battaramulla. If you are already abroad, the Labour Section of the Sri Lankan diplomatic mission in your country can check for you and can also handle renewals. Have your NIC number and passport number ready.
