Emirates ID card renewal fee update for Pakistan citizens in November 2023

In Dubai, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) is the official agency responsible for issuing Emirates ID cards to UAE citizens and expatriates, including those from Pakistan.

It is a legal requirement for all UAE residents, both nationals and expats, to obtain and carry their Emirates ID at all times. This card serves as a gateway to accessing various government and public services.

Renewing Your Emirates ID: Important Guidelines

For those seeking to renew their Emirates ID card, there are specific rules and procedures to follow:

When to Apply for Renewal of an Emirates ID Card

The renewal deadline for an expired ID card is 30 days from the date of expiration. After this grace period, late fines will be imposed. Renewal applications can be submitted through multiple channels, including the ICP website, the ICP App on Google Play, the App Store, and Huawei platforms, or at accredited typing centers. Some applicants may need to visit an ICP service center to provide their biometric information.

How early can the Emirates ID be renewed?

UAE nationals have the flexibility to apply for renewal of their Emirates ID between six and one month before the expiration date. In contrast, UAE residence visa holders can only request renewal when their residence visa is renewed or reissued.
