<\/span>How Do Employers or Sponsors Handle Renewals for Dependents or Workers?<\/span><\/h3>\nIn many cases, especially for domestic workers or company-sponsored staff, the employer or sponsor handles the renewal process. Sponsors may do this online or assign a PRO (Public Relations Officer) to manage documentation and payments. However, as the cardholder, it\u2019s wise to confirm your card\u2019s status regularly to avoid surprises.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Are There Special Cases for Renewal (Children, Elderly, Disabled)?<\/span><\/h3>\nYes, certain groups like children, the elderly, or people with disabilities may have slightly adjusted procedures or even fee exemptions, depending on government policies at the time. Parents or legal guardians can renew on behalf of minors, and caregivers may assist the elderly or disabled. Always check the latest guidance from PHCC or the Hukoomi portal.<\/p>\n
