Definition

What Is Emirates ID Typing?

Emirates ID typing is the step that turns your details into an official ICP application. A trained typist enters your information exactly as it appears on your passport, adds your photo, and submits the form to the ICP. One wrong letter or date can delay your card, which is why accurate typing matters.

The Emirates ID is issued by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), and every resident must hold one. You must apply within 30 days of your visa being stamped. Correct typing is the foundation of a smooth, delay-free application.

Pricing

How Much Does Emirates ID Typing Cost in Sharjah?

Emirates ID cost is set nationally and tied to your visa length, so it is the same in Sharjah as anywhere in the UAE. The ICP charges a card fee of AED 100 for each year your visa is valid.

Visa validity Government card fee
1 year AED 100
2 years AED 200
3 years AED 300
10-year Golden Visa AED 1,000

On top of the card fee, a typing service charge applies, usually around AED 30 to AED 70, which covers the form, photo, checks, and submission. If you need the card urgently, express (Fawri) processing adds about AED 150 for 24-hour handling. We confirm your exact fees before you pay and give an itemised receipt. Clear pricing means no surprises at the counter.

Requirements

What Do You Bring for Emirates ID Typing?

Having the right papers ready keeps your visit fast, because a missing document stalls the application. The list is short and simple. You will usually need your original passport with valid residency, your stamped visa or e-visa, and a recent passport-size photo with a white background. For a renewal or replacement, bring your old Emirates ID too. We confirm your full documents required before we submit, so nothing is missed. A complete document set is the quickest path to a clean application.

Workflow

How Does the Emirates ID Process Work?

Emirates ID typing is the first step in a short, fixed sequence set by the ICP. Knowing the full path helps you plan your day:

Typing and submission: We complete and submit your application to the ICP.

Biometrics: You give fingerprints and a photo at an ICP centre.

Approval: The ICP usually approves within 24 to 48 hours.

Card delivery: Your card is printed and delivered in 5 to 10 working days.

Digital ID: A digital Emirates ID appears in the UAEICP app before the card arrives.

Children under 15 are exempt from fingerprinting. Following the steps in order keeps your card on schedule.

Convenience

Why Do Your Medical and ID Together in Sharjah?

Doing your Emirates ID typing and medical test in the same visit is the biggest time-saver we offer because both are needed for your residency. Instead of two trips to two places, you finish both inside Sahara Centre. Our medical test takes under 30 minutes, and if your timeline is tight, our fast-track service delivers your fitness certificate in as little as 4 hours. With your typing done at the same time, your whole residency file moves together. Handling both under one roof is what makes our Sharjah centre so convenient.
