The OFW Electron Card (E-card) is an identification card issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) through its attached agencies, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). The card is a multi-function card containing information about the OFW which he will need in dealing with government institutions, locally and abroad.

The card is issued for free. Security features contain the following:




  • Photo card.
  • Digital signature on card face with matching signature at the back
  • Tamper proof signature panel
  • Magnetic stripe with security code
Several benefits may be derived upon activation of the E-card at all Equitable banking institutions:

  • Serves as proof that cardholder is a legitimate OFW and an OWWA member
  • Provides a permanent ID card number that will link OFW''s information necessary in dealing with various government and private agencies
  • Facilitates availment of OWWA benefits and services
  • Can be used as a remittance card and ATM or a debit card at the option of the OFW
OWWA is now in the process of negotiating with other institutions for percentage sales discount/other freebies to cardholders.
