Citizens to face fines for delay in registering for National Identity Cards

The Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) announced today that there is a continuous fall in the turn out of citizens at its centres to register for the national identity cards.

Though this drop was a result of the EIDA's announcement of a temporary stoppage of the registration for nationals to start registration of residents, the Authority later reopened national registration counters as per request by the citizens. The registration for residents is to resume early next month.

EIDA said in a statement that the excuses by some citizens that the registration centres are overcrowded, are not acceptable, and any delay in registering for national identity cards will attract fines as stipulated by the law.
