the thorough verification procedure that Emirates ID applicants go through, as well as the path the ID card takes from the time you apply for it until you receive it.
Here are the specifics of the procedure used by ICP to issue an Emirates ID.
Step 1: Start the application
To apply for the Emirates, candidates must select one of the four accessible channels and complete the application form.
We will check to see if the applicant’s biometrics have been registered in the system once they have submitted an application for an Emirates ID. They must register their biometrics in the event that it is not [included in the system].
While soon candidates will be able to submit this biometric data via the “UAE ICP” app, for the time being, they must physically visit an ICP center to finish this process.
Step 2: Verification and security check
We will check to see if your passport or place of residency is still valid after the biometric [registration] is finished. The application will proceed to the following level if the residency is verified as authentic, at which point we will determine whether the biometric information is secure. This artificial intelligence-based system is entirely automated.
Step 3: Emirates ID is printed and delivered
The printing stage of the Emirates ID will begin after the security checks are finished and the application is authorized.
You can get the Emirates ID in one of two ways, depending on how quickly you need it: through the registration centers within an hour, or via courier in one to two days.
How much would it cost to fast-track your application?
ICP states that applicants must pay an additional service cost of about Dh150 in order to expedite the procedure.
