Checking for online status helps you ascertain if your Emirates ID is now available. You may verify your application status on ICP’s official website or using the ICP mobile app based on your application number or Emirates ID number in the specific space.
Your Emirates ID status and real-time data are provided by the system to update you about its approval status, along with its processing status, dispatch status, and collection readiness.
Your Emirates ID card duration is determined by both your age and residency. The UAE government issues the Emirates ID card to citizens whose validity lasts for five years. Residents have to verify their ID duration according to their visa status, since it typically lasts between two and three years.
Adults require a three-year ID card, whereas children under the age of 15 require a two-year ID.
The users must keep in mind that the expiry dates of their residency visas are the same as the expiry dates of their Emirates ID. The procedure to renew your visa is exactly the same as the procedure to renew your Emirates ID card.
| Application Type | Card Duration | Price (AED) |
| New/Renew | 1 Year | AED 170.00 |
| New/Renew | 2 Years | AED 270.00 |
| New/Renew | 3 Years | AED 370.00 |
| New/Renew (UAE National) | 5 Years | AED 250.00 |
| New/Renew (UAE National) | 10 Years | AED 350.00 |
| New/Renew (GCC) | 3 Years | AED 450.00 |
We advise all individuals to read the above information prior to obtaining a new ID card or renewing it.
The fine for not renewing your Emirates ID within its due date costs AED 20 a day with a cap of AED 1000. Your lack of a valid Emirates ID prevents your access to multiple services such as banking, medical care, and government offices.
