Emirates ID Cost & Fees
Emirates ID cost — every fee, itemized.
One rule explains almost everything: AED 100 per year of validity. Here's the complete 2026 fee sheet — typing, urgent service, replacements and fines — with real totals, not ranges.

The one rule to remember
What makes up the fee?
Every Emirates ID invoice is built from the same four blocks. Once you know them, no quote can surprise you.
The core ICP charge — AED 100 for every year of validity. A 2-year resident card is AED 200; a 10-year Golden Visa card is AED 1,000.
AED 40 if filed as a self-service eForm, AED 30–70 at typing centers. Charged on every application — new, renewal or replacement.
Optional 24-hour issuance at ICP main centers. Available for new cards, renewals and replacements alike.
AED 20/day late-renewal fine (max AED 1,000) and the AED 300 replacement fee for lost cards — the only fees you can fully avoid.
The full 2026 fee sheet.
Every common scenario with its real total — government fees only, before any service charge.
| Scenario | Breakdown | Total |
|---|---|---|
| New card — 1-year visa | 100 + 70 application | AED 170 |
| New card — 2-year visa | 200 + 70 application | AED 270 |
| New card — 3-year visa | 300 + 70 application | AED 370 |
| New card — 10-year Golden Visa | 1,000 + 70 application | AED 1,070 |
| Renewal — 2 years | 200 + 70 application | AED 270 |
| Lost / damaged replacement | 300 replacement + 70 application | AED 370 |
| Any of the above, urgent (Fawri) | add 24-hour issuance | + AED 150 |
| Late renewal fine | AED 20/day after 30-day grace | up to AED 1,000 |
Indicative ICP government fees as of July 2026. Typing center charges vary by emirate (AED 30–70) and small PCI printing fees may apply. Children under 15 pay the same card fee but skip biometrics. Our service charge is always quoted separately, in writing.
Four ways people overpay — and how not to.
Most “expensive” Emirates IDs are just avoidable extras. These are the four we see weekly.
30 days after expiry, the AED 20/day fine starts. On a 2-year renewal, 50 late days doubles your cost. Renew inside the window — it's the single biggest saving.
Standard issuance is already 24–48h after approval. Pay the AED 150 only when you genuinely need the card tomorrow — flight, bank deadline, job start.
Photocopies, photos, 'follow-up fees' — small cash extras add up at physical centers. Online filing has one itemized price.
A replacement (AED 370) keeps the old expiry date. If your card was expiring within months anyway, renewing instead may cost the same and reset the clock — ask us first.
