What documents are needed for Emirates ID application in UAE?

To apply for an Emirates ID, you'll need a valid passport, a residence visa, and a passport-sized photo. The application fee is approximately AED 100, and you can apply through the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) or authorized service centers. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found that the process is straightforward if you have all the required documents ready. Pro tip: Make sure to check for any updates on the ICA website before you apply, as rules can change.
