National Identity Cards Mandatory in UAE

National Identity Cards Mandatory in UAE

Authorities in the UAE are planning to set a deadline to enforce all expatriates to carry national identity cards.

The Director General of the Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA), Darwish Al Zarouni, said that all expatriates in the country should hold the national identity card for governmental, semi-governmental and private transactions towards end of 2010. In the absence to produce the cards, the expats will not be eligible to Register Cars, Transfer Ownership of Vehicles, or carry on Banking Transactions. They will also be unable to receive any service from government, semi-government or private organizations, from next year onwards. Al Zarouni re-iterated that the identity card, meant to verify identity and simplify transactions is compulsory for all Emirates, beginning next year. Next month.

Registration procedure: Applicants are required to fill up the registration form on visiting the website www.emiratesid.ae and submit the print out at any of the 24 registration centers in the country.
