Emirates ID Services
Applications, renewals, replacements and biometric appointments handled with ICP.
About this service
The Emirates ID is the identity document required for banking, telecom, tenancy, schooling and every government service in the UAE. IDOS prepares and submits applications to ICP, books biometric appointments and follows up until the card is delivered.
We also handle renewals before expiry, urgent replacement of lost or damaged cards, and data corrections such as name spelling or profession updates.

Standard processing is around 5–10 working days after biometrics. Urgent (fawri) service can produce the card in as little as 24 hours where eligible.
