Keeping your Emirates ID information up to date is essential for smooth transactions and official documentation in the UAE. If you need to change your mobile number, email, or address linked to your Emirates ID, the process is straightforward and can be completed online or at an ICP service center.
To update your details, visit the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) website or use their smart app. Log in with your UAE Pass, select the Emirates ID update service, enter the new details, and submit the request. A small service fee applies, and updates are typically processed within 24 to 48 hours.
For those preferring in-person updates, ICP customer happiness centers across the UAE can assist. Carry your Emirates ID, passport, and valid visa (for residents) when visiting the center. Some updates may require additional verification, so it’s best to check the latest requirements beforehand.
Maintaining accurate personal details on your Emirates ID ensures uninterrupted access to government services, bank transactions, and visa-related processes. Regular updates help avoid complications and ensure seamless communication with UAE authorities.
