Dubai: Emirates Post offices have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people registering for the National ID cards.
In four weeks since post offices started accepting registration forms, over 75,000 forms were distributed.
Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) has authorised Emirates Post to provide registration facilities for the National ID Card through post offices across the UAE with the support of Emirates Marketing and Promotions (EMP), a subsidiary of Emirates Post Group.
Ebrahim Bin Karam, CEO of Emirates Post, said: "We have made arrangements to handle the rush. We urge all customers to start the process early to avoid chaos when the deadline draws near. The post offices are fully geared to meet the demand of applicants, and our staff has been specially trained to handle queries from our customers. We are working closely with EIDA officials to smoothen the whole process."
Residents can buy special envelops (priced Dh40) from post offices, fill up the registration form and submit the envelope to any post office counter.
As part of its responsibility, EMP will scrutinize the forms. In the case of any error in the data, the customer will be informed by SMS or by the call centre.
Emirates Post will then send the completed forms to the applicant's P.O. Box, giving the date on which he can go to the EIDA centre to submit the form.
