To get an Emirates ID in the UAE, apply online via ICP website or at an authorized typing center. First-time applicants must visit an ICP service center for biometric scanning. Once processed (7-10 days standard, 24-48 hours express), you’ll receive an SMS to collect your card from Emirates Post or via home delivery. Required documents include a passport, UAE visa (for expats), and a photo. Fees vary based on validity (1-3 years). Renew before expiry or request a replacement if lost.
