What's new in 2025? The "One-Step" Revolution

• Under the Zero Bureaucracy Programme (Phase 2), the ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security) implemented a single-step process for Emirates ID renewal & replacement, bidding goodbye to multiple-step back-and-forth.

• For renewals, the system auto-assigns validity according to age:

• 10 years if 21 and older

• 5 years if below 21

• To replace the Emirates ID, the new ID has the remaining validity of your original card; you can't edit the years manually.

• Application forms are now "smart"; single pages, no duplicate fields, curated based on pre-existing government data.

These improvements will reduce waiting times, lower errors, and limit bureaucracy.

When & Why You Might Need Replacement or Renewal

Scenario	What You Must Do	Special Notes
Lost/stolen damaged ID	Apply for replacement via ICP’s “Issue Replacement” service	Replacement fee is AED 300 (plus service/printing costs)

Minor (< 15 years), biometric update, data correction	May require visiting a service center or special submission	Fingerprints needed for age 15+, updates require in-person verification

Step-by-Step: Emirates ID Replacement

If biometrics are missing/outdated, a visit to a center might be requested.
