What documents do I need to apply for an Emirates ID?

To apply for an Emirates ID, you will need your passport, a recent passport-sized photo, and your residence visa. The total cost for the ID and application fees can be around AED 370 for adults. As someone who recently went through this process, I recommend applying as soon as you arrive to avoid any delays in everyday activities. Important: Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of application.
