1. Submit An Application For A New Emirates ID
You can apply for a new Emirates ID card in two ways:
- Online, through the ICP website
- Through an accredited typing centre or an Amer centre which has an ICP section.
2. Pay The Fees
Next, you’ll need to pay the service and card fee, which varies depending on the visa you’re applying for. If you have a one-year visa, the cost for the Emirates ID is approximately Dh170. For a two-year visa, the cost is approximately Dh270. If you apply for a 10-year Golden Visa, the cost would be approximately Dh 1,070.
3. Visit An ICP Centre For Your Biometric Scan
Next, you might need to visit one of ICP’s service centres to provide your biometric details for the Emirates ID database. To know more about how you can find an ICP centre near you, read our guide here.
It is important to note that this step is only required if this is the first time you are applying for an Emirates ID.
4. Collect Your Emirates ID
Once you have completed the steps above, you can track the status of your Emirates ID application with ICP. Once the Emirates ID has been issued, you will receive an SMS from ICP informing you of the post office location that you need to visit to collect your Emirates ID.
Emirates ID
The UAE opens its doors to thousands of expatriate residents every year, offering vast opportunities for employment, business, and long-term residence. One of the first and most essential requirements after moving to the country is obtaining a national identity card.
The Emirates ID is a mandatory government-issued document provided by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP). It is issued to all UAE citizens and residents, including newborn babies. The Emirates ID serves as a primary proof of identity and residency and is required for accessing a wide range of services such as visa processing, employment, banking, healthcare, education, utilities, property leasing, and other government services throughout the UAE.
