What is the Emirates ID?
The Emirates ID is the mandatory identity card issued by the ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security) to every UAE citizen and resident. It's far more than an ID — daily life in the UAE runs on it.
Every citizen and resident — including newborns — must hold a valid Emirates ID at all times. It doubles as your residency proof.
For residents, the card's validity always matches your residence visa — 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 years. Renew the visa, renew the ID.
The chip stores your fingerprints, photo and signature — used for UAE Pass, smart gates at airports and secure e-signatures.
Bank accounts, SIM cards, tenancy (Ejari), DEWA, medical care, insurance, school enrolment — nothing opens without it.
How to get an Emirates ID, step by step.
Whether it's your first card or a renewal, the ICP process is the same five stages. We handle every one of them for you, 100% online.
