Frequently asked questions
Can a typing center apply for my Emirates ID?
Yes. Typing centers type and submit Emirates ID applications through the official ICP system. The approval and card issuance remain with ICP.
What Emirates ID services do you handle?
New applications, renewals, replacement of lost or damaged cards, and data updates such as mobile number or passport details.
Do I need biometrics?
First-time applicants need fingerprints and a photo at an ICP center. Many renewals reuse existing biometrics, and ICP informs you by SMS if a visit is needed.
How do I track my Emirates ID?
You can track the card status on the ICP website or app using your application number (PRAN). We also track it for you and update you on WhatsApp.
What if my Emirates ID is lost?
Report the loss to ICP, then apply for a replacement. We can type the replacement application the same day you contact us.
