Card gone? Do these three things first.

Whether it's lost, stolen or snapped in half, the sequence is the same — and the first step matters most.

1 · Deactivate the old card

Report the loss to ICP within 7 days (any ICP center, the ICP app — or we file it for you). The old card is suspended so nobody can misuse your identity.

2 · Apply for replacement

The ICP replacement application is filed with your passport and visa details — same-day, no new fingerprints, your existing biometrics are reused.

3 · Pay & receive

AED 300 replacement fee + AED 70 application. Standard delivery 3–5 days, or within 24 hours with the Fawri urgent service (+AED 150).

Stolen card? One extra stepif stolen

For theft — especially if misuse is possible — file a police report first. It protects you legally; we'll guide you through it.

Replacement, step by step.

Everything ICP requires for a lost, stolen or damaged card — handled online in one WhatsApp thread.

Lost / damaged Emirates ID — replacement process

Documents

  1. Passport copy (original may be requested at ICP for identity confirmation)
  2. Residence visa copy
  3. Copy or number of the lost / damaged Emirates ID (if available)
  4. The damaged card itself (for damage replacements — it's handed in)
  5. Police report (stolen cards only)

Procedure

  1. Loss report: we notify ICP; your old card is deactivated to block misuse.
  2. Replacement filing: the ICP application goes in the same day — your card keeps its original expiry date.
  3. Payment: AED 300 + AED 70, itemized. Fawri 24-hour option added if you need the card urgently.
  4. No biometrics: your fingerprints are already on file — no ICP visit needed in normal cases.
  5. Delivery: Emirates Post pick-up or courier, tracked until it's in your hand.

Replacement costs, 2026.

Replacement is a flat fee — it does not depend on your visa duration, and your card keeps its original expiry date.

Indicative ICP fees. The replacement card carries the same expiry date as the lost one — if it was close to expiry anyway, ask us whether renewing instead makes more sense.

Lost Emirates ID FAQ

What should I do immediately after losing my Emirates ID?
Report it to ICP as soon as possible (officially within 7 days) so the card is deactivated — at any ICP center, through the ICP app, or we file the report for you. Then the replacement application can go in the same day.
Do I need a police report for a lost Emirates ID?
Not for a simple loss — the ICP report is sufficient. A police report is recommended if the card was stolen or you suspect it could be misused.
How much does a replacement Emirates ID cost?
AED 300 ICP replacement fee plus AED 40–70 application fee — about AED 370 total. Add AED 150 if you want the 24-hour Fawri urgent service.
Do I need to give fingerprints again?
No. Your biometrics are already in the ICP system, so a replacement normally requires no center visit at all.
How fast can I get the new card?
Standard processing is 3–5 working days. With Fawri, ICP issues the card within 24 hours at main centers — often same-day if filed in the morning.
My card is damaged but I still have it — same process?
Yes, same AED 300 fee and process; the damaged card is handed in when you collect the new one. No loss report is needed since the card isn't missing.
I found my old card after getting a replacement — can I use it?
No. Once reported lost, the old card is permanently deactivated. Using it may cause issues at smart gates and banks — hand it in to ICP.
