Eida opens centres in Baniyas, Al Rahba

ABU DHABI - The Emirates Identity Authority (Eida) has announced its intention to open two new registration centres with a capacity of up to 700 customers daily in Baniyas and Al Rahba in Abu Dhabi next week. This will bring the number of the Emirates ID’s registration centres across the UAE to 62.

The Eida said the opening of the two new centres in Abu Dhabi comes as part of its plans aimed at rendering its services closer to customers across the UAE, noting that the new centres would provide their services to customers in the morning period as per the prior appointment system.

The Baniyas Registration Centre is situated within the Etisalat building and incorporates seven registration lines in the population register and ID card system, including three for women, in addition to three lines for providing ID card data updating service.

Al Rahba Registration Centre is situated in the Emirates Post building in Al Rahba and incorporates three registration lines in addition to one registration line for updating the ID card data.

The authority pointed out that the number of its affiliated ID card registration centres in Abu Dhabi as well as the registration centres attached to the preventive medicine centres rose to 18 in the light of opening the two new centres.

The Emirates ID noted the support and cooperation of the Etisalat and Emirates Post for enabling it to open registration centres on their premises, thereby contributing to facilitating registration procedures for customers, limiting the procedures to one geographical zone and consequently supporting the Eida in fulfilling its national mission as embodied in reinforcing the national and individual security and establishing an accurate and comprehensive population register that would support strategic decision-making and the e-government project.
