Expatriates can use the service to replace lost, damaged or expired cards
Residents in the UAE can get their Emirates ID in 24 hours. Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security provides an urgent service for getting the Emirates ID card within 24 hours.
The service is known as ‘Fawri’ and is available against the regular stated fees plus an urgent service fee.
The service is available for all age groups for UAE nationals and GCC nationals officially residing in UAE and can be obtained for
- first time registration
- renewal of expired cards
- lost or damaged cards.
Expatriate residents other than GCC nationals are entitled to the urgent service only in case of replacement of their identity cards. This is because the issuance or renewal of identity cards is linked to proof of residency and related procedures.
