How to get the E-Emirates ID in 2022?

E-Emirates ID

The Emirates ID in the UAE is a very important form of identification which is mandatory for both citizens and expat residents to have. It serves as a core requirement to receiving public services in all the emirates of the UAE. 

That is why it is highly mandated for all residents to apply for it as soon as possible, whether you’re just settling in the country or the validity period is elapsing.

Normally, the Emirates ID is valid for a period of 3 years after which it expires. It is necessary to start the renewal process before it expires.

For convenience purposes, the electronic Emirates ID has been released to serve as an alternative to the physical one in plastic form. So if you have not received the physical copy of the emirates ID, you don’t need to worry because you can still access public services using the E-emirates ID. You can do this by downloading the ICA UAE Smart App.
