How do I get my Emirates ID as a newcomer in Dubai?

To obtain your Emirates ID, you need to submit an application through the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA). The process typically costs around AED 100 and requires documents like your passport, residency visa, and a passport-sized photo. In my experience, I found that applying online is the quickest method, and it usually takes about 3-5 working days to receive your ID.
