IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The Permanent Online System Will Be Decommissioned and No Longer Available As of December 1, 2024

The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) is making this public service announcement to alert employers and other interested stakeholders the legacy Permanent Online System, which provided public access to permanent labor certification applications and final determinations, will be fully decommissioned effective December 1, 2024. 

As part of the Department's technology modernization initiative, the Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) System was implemented to replace the legacy Permanent Online System, to improve customer service, and modernize the administration of foreign labor certification programs.

The legacy Permanent Online System will no longer be accessible. Account holders and the general public will be redirected to the FLAG System to submit new permanent labor certification applications.

Applications pending in the Permanent Online System after November 30, 2024, will continue to be processed by OFLC. Stakeholders who need to submit a response to the Department's request for information, upload documents, or request a specific case action on an application that was submitted in the Permanent Online System can send an email to the Permanent Labor Certification Help Desk at plc.atlanta@dol.gov.
