IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The Permanent Online System Has Been Decommissioned and Is No Longer Available

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, was 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 is no longer accessible.  Account holders and the general public are 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.
