What does your Emirates ID number really mean?
The Emirates ID is an identity card issued by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship. It is a legal requirement for all UAE citizens and residents to apply for one and carry it with them at all times.
The ID number issued for each individual, whether a citizen or a resident, is registered in the population register system, and is fixed and may not be modified or changed.
It is a random number consisting of 15 digits, including a four-digit part that may match -- but not necessarily -- the year of birth of the ID card holder.
The ID number is allocated to its holder for life and is not given to anyone else.
In case the ID holder changes his date of birth, this does not allow him in any way to change the ID number issued to him.
In case the resident cancels his residence visa and leaves the country, his ID number is not cancelled and a new ID card under the same number will be issued to him once he returns.
The ID number is divided into four parts: the first one consisting of the first three digits represents the international code of the UAE, followed by a four-digit part that may, and does not necessarily, match the year the birth of the card holder.
The third part of the number consists of seven random digits, and the last part consists of one digit which represents the verification number.
It is important to distinguish between the ID number and the card number on the right.
It is against the law to seize the Emirates ID card of other people. Companies are not allowed to withhold the Emirates ID cards of their employees or their customers and visitors. They are only allowed to take the personal data on the ID cards.
