What Is Emirates ID Renewal
Keep Your Residency Valid and Avoid Fines
Emirates ID renewal is the mandatory process of extending the validity of your national identification card in the UAE. The renewal applies to citizens, GCC nationals and expatriate residents whose IDs are about to expire or have already expired.

Why do I need to renew my Emirates ID?
Emirates ID renewal is a legal requirement for UAE citizens, GCC nationals and expatriate residents to maintain valid identification at all times. The process must be initiated before the card expires, and ICP regulations require individuals to apply for renewal within 30 days of the expiry date. Applications can also be submitted up to six months in advance to ensure continuity of services. A renewed Emirates ID confirms residency status and is essential for completing visa procedures, accessing government transactions, opening or maintaining bank accounts, receiving healthcare and securing uninterrupted legal status in the UAE. EGSH, as a licensed AMER centre, ensures the renewal is processed directly through ICP systems with full compliance and accuracy. Emirates ID validity is closely linked to residence visa renewal.
How often do I need to renew my Emirates ID card?
Renewal is directly linked to the validity of residency status. UAE citizens renew their Emirates ID for 5 or 10 years, GCC nationals for 5 years, while expatriate residents must renew for 1 or 2 years in line with the duration of their residency visa.
What happens if my Emirates ID expires?
Once the card has expired, the Emirates ID must be renewed within 30 days. After this period, ICP applies a fine of AED 20 per day, up to a maximum of AED 1,000. During this time, the expired card is invalid for visa applications, government services, banking or healthcare, which may also affect residency status. EGSH manages the renewal of Emirates ID directly with ICP, ensuring timely processing and uninterrupted access to essential services.
How long does it take to renew an Emirates ID?
The Emirates ID renewal time ranges between 24 hours and five working days, depending on the service chosen. Urgent applications are processed within one day, while standard renewals take up to five working days once documents are submitted through ICP. If new biometric data is required due to expired or missing records, processing may extend until the data is updated. EGSH ensures accurate filing and direct tracking with ICP, helping clients complete the renewal in the fastest possible timeframe.
How much does an Emirates ID renewal cost?
The cost of renewing an Emirates ID depends on the applicant’s status and the card’s validity. For UAE citizens, the renewal fee is AED 100 for five years or AED 200 for ten years. GCC nationals pay a fee of AED 100 for a five-year card. Expatriate residents are charged AED 100 per year, which means the price of renewal depends on the length of their residency visa. Additional smart service charges of AED 100 apply, and an expedited service is available at a fee of AED 150. EGSH provides clarity on the applicable charges and submits renewals directly through ICP systems.
What are the Emirates ID renewal fees for 2 years?
For expatriate residents, the Emirates ID renewal fee is AED 100 for each year of residency. The total cost for a two-year renewal is therefore AED 200, in addition to AED 100 smart service charges. The price may vary if urgent processing is required, with expedited service available for an extra AED 150. EGSH calculates the exact renewal fees based on the residency visa and ensures that all charges are settled correctly through ICP systems.
What is the Emirates ID renewal process?
The UAE ID renewal process starts with submitting an application, verifying personal details, and providing the required documents, including a passport, a residency visa, and a current Emirates ID. After paying the official renewal fee, the application is processed by ICP, and the new card is issued within 24 hours for urgent service or up to five working days under the standard procedure.
How can I complete an Emirates ID renewal online?
You can renew your Emirates ID online via the ICP Smart Services portal or the UAE Pass app. While the process is available digitally, many applicants face delays due to errors in forms or incomplete documents. At EGSH, applications are submitted directly through ICP systems with professional oversight, ensuring the timely issuance of your Emirates ID.
