How to check Emirates ID status online?
Go to the official Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) website: icp.gov.ae/en/id-card-status/.
- First-time applicants: Enter your Application Number (PRAN), which can be found on the copy of your Emirates ID application form.
- Renewal or replacement applicants: Enter your Emirates ID number.
Once you enter the correct details, you will be able to track your Emirates ID status online.
In 2023, ICP introduced a new Emirates ID registration form. This form helps residents:
- Track their Emirates ID application status.
- Change the appointment date for their fingerprint and biometric scan.
After submitting your application through a typing centre or individually, you will receive this form. It includes a QR code that you can scan to track your Emirates ID status and view the next steps in the process.
How to get a digital Emirates ID
If your Emirates ID is under renewal, lost, misplaced, or damaged, you can use a digital Emirates ID as a temporary solution.
Add your digital Emirates ID to Apple Wallet via the UAEICP app.
Access your Emirates ID through UAE Pass, the UAE’s national digital identity system, which also provides a QR code for verification.
If your Emirates ID has expired or is still being processed, you can generate a QR code through the UAEICP app. This code allows you to submit your ID temporarily for transactions or government services.
