If you are planning to apply for an Emirates ID, residence visa or visit visa in the UAE, you need to factor in a Dh100 increase in service fees that has been announced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP).
According to an announcement on ICP’s smart services platform, “Dh100 have been added to all services under the item ‘Smart Services Fees’ except for the following: A. Citizens services (passports, issuance, renewal and replacement of an identity card for a citizen, family book services); B. Services provided by ICP service centres; Services completely exempt from fees.”
So, if you are planning to apply for an ICP service through the official e-services platform – https://smartservices.icp.gov.ae/ – the service will reflect the updated fees.
