Dubai: Are you a new Dubai resident looking forward to completing all your residency procedures? If so, you might have to go in to give your biometric data for your Emirates ID.
It is the primary proof of residency in the UAE, and when applying for a new Emirates ID, applicants over the age of 15 are required to provide their biometric data including a fingerprint scan.
To do so, you would need to visit a centre of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP), which is the issuing authority for Emirates IDs.
Here is a list of all the ICP customer happiness centres that you can visit:
