Emirates ID Amendment / Update Typing (Name & Details)
We prepare and submit Emirates ID amendment and details-update applications (name, spelling, personal details) on your behalf across the UAE, with document checks and status follow-up.
Overview
AL SAHRAA assists residents and sponsors with Emirates ID amendments and details updates, including name corrections, spelling changes, and personal detail updates. We complete the required typing, prepare the ICA/ICP forms, and advise on supporting documents so your application is accepted quickly. Our team works with applicants in Dubai, Ajman and other UAE emirates to reduce errors and resubmissions. We verify documents, complete accurate digital typing, and submit to the relevant authority. If biometrics or additional steps are required, we schedule or guide you through them. Typical turnaround depends on the authority processing times and the nature of the change. We provide transparent status tracking, follow up on your application, and notify you when the updated Emirates ID is ready for collection or delivery. Contact us for a quick consultation and a checklist tailored to your amendment type. We can act on your behalf with authorization if you cannot attend in person.

Processing times vary by authority and the change requested; typical electronic updates take several days to a few weeks. We provide status tracking and updates.

What documents prove a legal name change?
Accepted proofs include an attested marriage certificate, court order, or other government-issued documents showing the legal change; requirements depend on the change type.
