you should go to labour department with the following documents

1) Old Labour Contract- Driver

2) New Labour Contract - Engineer- 3 orginal

3) Certificate copy-Attested from Ministry

4)Electricity Bill

5) Passport Copy

6) No objection letter from sponser etc

First go to the labur department second floor and take approval from authorised person who will check your certificate and sign . After that you go and submit all the application along with the requirements and pay the fee .

Later one week your PRO can collect new ID from MOI
