Can the Blue Card be transferred between different employers?

The Blue Card is a specific identification that is tied to an individual rather than being linked to multiple employers. This means that the card is issued based on personal credentials and qualifications rather than the employment relationship. Therefore, if an individual changes jobs, the Blue Card does not automatically transfer with that change; the new employer would need to ensure that the employee meets the necessary training and certification requirements independently.

While there may be processes in place for updating or revalidating the Blue Card based on new job roles, the primary concept is that the card itself is not transferable to different employers. This distinction is crucial because it ensures that each individual is held accountable for maintaining their own qualifications and training, and it simplifies the regulation of safety and health compliance in the workplace.
