Registration of Job Seekers
Registration of job-seeking persons is carried out:
• in person, through the regional center of the Unified Social Service serving the person's actual place of residence, or
• online, through the e-work.am platform
To register online, the job seeker, either independently or with the assistance of a specialist from the territorial center, registers on the platform by providing:
• first name, last name, and patronymic,
• day, month, and year of birth,
• Public Services Number (PSN),

• by selecting the mID/eID buttons, redirects to the "YES EM" National Identity Verification Platform, where authentication is completed by selecting either the "Mobile ID" or "Identification Card" fields.
Upon registration, the job seeker marks the checkbox to register with the territorial center. To register online, the job seeker, either independently or with the assistance of the territorial center, registers on the e-work platform.
