DOL Information on Registration for PERM Online Filing

Question: Can an attorney, agent or law firm register to use the Permanent On-line System?

Answer: No. Only an employee or owner of the employer entity may register to use the Permanent On-line System because employers must make the attestations required for the permanent application process and a PIN will only be assigned to an employer. The registration must be submitted by an individual with actual hiring authority for the employer. The individual listed under the “Employer Contact Information” section of the registration page must be an individual with actual hiring authority for the employer and cannot be the attorney or agent. During the registration process, the employer may create sub-accounts for attorneys or agents. We will cancel or deny registrations submitted by non-employers. If the employer’s information on a submitted permanent labor certification application does not match the employer’s information associated with the PIN used with the application, the Department may deny or revoke the permanent labor certification.
