Suspension of DNRD PRO No Objection Certificates Services:

Launch of the Member Authentication Process:

In the endeavour to ensure the member company’s privacy and to enhance the customer experience, we are pleased to inform you that that DMCC is introducing an authentication process when contacting DMCC through the Contact Centre effective 29th April 2018.

This authentication will enable the Contact Centre agent to efficiently provide the assistance required to you through the ‘Caller Authentication’ upgraded system that has been implemented.  

Please find below the three options for the caller authentication:

1. If you are an ‘Existing Member Company’, and you wish to request information / updates related to your company’s requests:
  • The authorised caller on behalf of the company can be:
    • Your company’s Shareholder / Director / Legal Representative / Secretary / Manager / HR Signatory.
    • Or any authorised person of your company who has access to the company portal.
  • The required information for the authentication will be the Company Account Number and the 4 digits Unique Key, which can be found on the Company Portal under ‘My Company’.

2. If you are an ‘Existing Member’, and you wish to request information / updates related to an employee’s under process request:

  • The authorised caller who can request updates is the company’s active employee.
  • The required information for the authentication will be the employee’s Employment Card (CEC) or Identity Card (PIC) number, which can be found on the PIC / Employment Card.
  • The provided information by the Contact Centre Agent will be restricted to the info / updates related to the employee only. Obtaining any company related info / updates will not be granted to preserve your company’s data privacy.

3. If you are a ‘Company Coordinator and / or a Consultant’, and wish to request information / updates related to an existing member company’s under process requests:

  • You would need then to be an authorised company coordinator (PRO or Consultant) in order to get the service request updates on behalf of the company. You would need in this case to know the unique CC number in order to be authenticated; where the member company is advised to apply for Company Coordinator service request and following the approval of the service request, the CC number will be provided to the company where the company would need to share the CC number with you to use for the authentication.
  • The company can get the list of the company coordinators from ‘My Reports’ tab by running the ‘Company Coordinator Report’.
  • If a ‘Company Coordinator and Consultant’ is calling DMCC Contact Centre, the Contact Centre agent will assist the caller for multiple accounts updates after getting a ‘Manual Authentication’, which consists of providing (the CC Document Number, and Company name).
  • You will get the service requests updates related to only the same company that has been authenticated.

In light of the above, all member companies are advised to ensure that they have appointed Company Coordinator/s to ensure that they get all the updates from DMCC in a timely manner. Also, member companies will need to refer to their Unique Key number for the same.
