Emirates ID Update Guide in the UAE

The Digital government of the UAE has recently announced that the residents and citizens are required to notify the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) within 30 days of any changes made to their Emirates Identity Card data.

On its website, the UAE digital government said this initiative will allow the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (FAIC) to effectively update the data on ID cards and the Population Registration System. This will be applied to all Emirates ID card holders both nationals and expatriates in the UAE.

ICP further states that the Emirates ID data must be updated when the wife’s last name changes (adopting her maiden name) after marriage.

All citizens and residents must have valid Emirates ID cards. Fines will be imposed for delays in obtaining or renewing your Emirates ID card.

Emirates ID

How to Update your Emirates ID 

According to authorities, it is possible to update the details of your valid ID card via the ICP website www.icp.gov.ae or its smart app. 

• Access to the smart services system (digital identity or user name).

• Search for the service – Update your Emirates ID

• Fill in the application data, where applicable

• Pay the service fee

Note – The owner of the ID card must be present in the country. The application is not accepted if it is outside the country.

Cancelling Emirates ID

UAE residents intending to cancel their UAE residence visa for the purpose of leaving the country permanently or changing jobs are required to turn over their ID cards to the relevant General Directorate for Residency and Foreigners Affairs.

Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship will receive the returned ID card from General Directorate for Residency and Foreigners Affairs.

All you need to know about the Emirates ID replacement for residency visa sticker

The government authorities have announced that starting from the 11th of April 2022, Residence visa stickers will be replaced with the Emirates ID in the UAE. This means the UAE residents will no longer have a visa sticker stamped on their passports. The details of their visa status will be included in the Emirates ID. This initiative will bring several benefits including passport safety and quick service.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship (ICA) confirmed the move on Tuesday, stating that it was a Cabinet decision of the UAE. The ICA issued a circular to General Civil airlines stating that they can now verify the residency status using the passport number and Emirates ID of the resident.

Al Rashidi confirmed that the authority has developed all the required technical facilities to obtain residents’ details through a printed form that can be applied with the Authority’s stamp, or by accessing the Authority’s application through a user’s account or using the smart services system available via the website. The smart services system allows the printing of residents’ details in just three steps proving the present and past identity of the individuals in one system.
