Dubai: There are currently around 314 typing centres in the UAE still authorised to provide the e-form typing service for Emirates ID, after a grace period to meet new standards expired on July 28, the Emirates Identity Authority has said.
Only those typing centres who confirm to new standards, enforced since August 1, can continue accepting the e-form application, which is necessary for the ID card’s issuance or renewal.
All other centres that used to provide the Emirates ID typing service are no longer accepting such applications. It wasn’t immediately known how many typing centres in total were offering the service before the new rules came into effect.
