Emirates ID is an identity card. It is one of the most important documents. All UAE residents must have an Emirates ID.

The document is a plastic card containing all important data.

Receiving algorithm:

1. Submit an application on the ICA website, in the ICA UAE Smart app or at an accredited service centre.

2. Pay the duty and service fee.

3. After submitting an application, an SMS will be sent to the mobile device indicating the date of issue of the card and the deadline for submitting a photo and fingerprint.

4. After that, you need to contact the service centre and go through the fingerprinting procedure.

5. The document is ready. It will be delivered to your specified address.

At the same time, it is important to remember that UAE residents must monitor the validity of the document and have time to apply for a replacement. If this is not done, then a fine will be charged for each overdue day.
