The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has begun issuing a new advanced version of the Emirates ID.
You can use the e-version of your ID on the ICA UAE Smart app, which is free on iOS and Android stores, until it is printed.
Because it is as valid as the physical version, this e-version can be used for all government services.
