What is Emirates ID typing?

“Typing” is the UAE term for preparing and submitting your official ICP application form. It's the first, mandatory step of every Emirates ID — and the only step where mistakes cause rejections and delays.

The official ICP eForm

Your details are typed into ICP's system in Arabic and English exactly as they appear on your passport and visa. One wrong letter means a reprint.

Typing center vs. online

A physical typing center charges AED 30–70 for the same form — plus your drive, parking and queue. We file the identical eForm online.

Filed within the hour

Send your documents on WhatsApp and your application is typically submitted to ICP the same hour, with the PRAN receipt sent back to you.

Checked before filing

We verify names, passport numbers, visa file numbers and photo specs against ICP rules before submission — the #1 cause of rejections, eliminated.

From WhatsApp to card-in-hand, step by step.

The full typing and application service — what we need from you and exactly what happens next.

Typing fees, compared.

Emirates ID typing FAQ

What is Emirates ID typing?
Typing is preparing and submitting the official ICP application form for your Emirates ID. Every application — new, renewal or replacement — starts with it. Traditionally done at typing centers, it's now fully possible online.
Do I still need to visit a typing center near me?
No. The typed application we file online is identical to the one a physical typing center produces — same ICP system, same government fee. The only physical step left is fingerprints, and only for first-time applicants.
How fast is the application filed?
Documents received on WhatsApp during working hours are usually typed, verified and filed with ICP within the hour. You get the PRAN application number as proof of submission.
What's the total cost for a new Emirates ID?
For a typical 2-year resident card: AED 200 card fee + AED 40–70 application/typing fee ≈ AED 270, plus our service charge (quoted upfront). A 10-year Golden Visa card is AED 1,070 in government fees.
Can I do the typing myself?
Yes — the ICP app offers a self-service eForm for AED 40. It works well if your documents are simple and you're confident with the form. Rejections for name mismatches or photo specs are the usual pitfall.
Do newborns need typing too?
Yes. A newborn's Emirates ID application must be filed within 120 days of birth and needs an attested birth certificate. We handle the attestation, typing and filing together.
