DISPLAYING ITEMS BY TAG: Procedures

Given the current situation in view of the pandemic caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19), we would like to inform you that Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship have rolled out a set of changes to the procedures of residence permit stamping and Emirates IDs biometric, to ensure public health and safety.

The detailed steps are as follows:

Emirates ID:
• Applicant shall need to pass the medical fitness test first in order to proceed with the Emirates ID fingerprint (biometric) registration.

Resident Permit
• After medical fitness result is received, the customer shall upload the necessary documents in the system. The courier shall update the task and will not collect any physical documents.

• Collection of original passport from the customer shall be suspended as Residence Permits will not be stamped in the passport until further notice

• The request (SR) will be updated as additional documents needed to inform the customer to upload the Employment Contract signed by both employee and employer and stamped.

• Resident Permit requests will be processed in the system and the customer shall receive a notification once the request is approved by GDRFA.

The new procedures shall be effective from Wednesday 25 March 2020 until further notice.

Important update to Jafza's current procedure for New Registration, and share-related services, including:

1. Share Transfers
2. Share Capital Amendments
3. Amend Shareholder

Effective 12 May 2025, the new process is set to be quicker, more efficient, and enhance customer experience:

• Creation of a Service Request (SR): First, complete the Compliance Task, by uploading the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) Form, along with all other necessary supporting documents (such as passport copies and any declarations).
• The Courier Task is now the second step in this process. Your original documents will only be collected after Compliance has reviewed and approved the UBO and related documentation.

We have updated our process to ensure all documents are fully reviewed and confirmed before collection, resulting in a quicker, more streamlined experience for all customers.
