Visas & identity · Reviewed 26 September 2026

If you need to update Emirates ID mobile number UAE, use the exact record and authority involved. The live official service is the final source for eligibility, documents, timing and any calculated charge.

Know what this service changes

ICP describes this route as updating non-essential personal data such as a phone number, email and address. It is not the route for changing core identity details printed on the card.

Prepare a secure login

Have the Emirates ID, passport and UAE Pass access belonging to the record holder ready. Check the new phone can receive messages before replacing an old number that may still be used for verification.

Review before submitting

Choose the personal-data update service in ICP’s official channel, enter the new details carefully and pay only the amount calculated there. Save the application reference and receipt.

Test linked services separately

After ICP confirms the change, check UAE Pass and important government, banking and insurance accounts individually. A contact update in one government record does not guarantee every service changes immediately.

Use official channels only. Never share an OTP, banking password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval with an agent.
