UAE ID Card Info
The UAE ID card deadline has been brought forward to 31 December 2008 for all professional and graduate residents in the UAE working in private sector firms and their family members.
The UAE ID card will eventually eliminate the need to carry multiple cards like driving licenses, work permits, passports, e-gate cards etc. Until the UAE ID card actually replaces the need for an employer to obtain the employee a labour card, then the responsibility and associated cost for obtaining the UAE ID card lies with each individual resident of the UAE. This e-mail is intended to provide some help and advice on what to do.

Driving Licence Renewal in Any Emirate
Driving Licence Renewal in Any Emirate
Adel Arafah for KHALEEJ TIMES 4 November 2008
ABU DHABI – Emiratis and expats can from January next year, get their driving licences renewed at any licencing department in the UAE, regardless of the place of issue of the licence or the place where the residence visa was issued, Col. Ghaith Hassan Al Zaabi, Director of the Traffic Department in the Ministry of Interior, told Khaleej Times.
“Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior, had ordered for technical and administrative measures to speed up the implementation of the new service,” he said.
“The new service will help ease difficulties being faced by residents who filed complaints about hurdles faced by them,” Col Zaabi said. “At present applications for renewal of licences are rejected by a traffic department if visa is issued in another emirate.”
Now, Pay Your Electricity and Water Bills Even from Outside the UAE Through Mobile Phone
Now, Pay Your Electricity and Water Bills Even from
Outside the UAE Through Mobile Phone
Mary Nammour for KHALEEJ TIMES
DUBAI – Dubai residents will be able to pay their electricity and water bills through their mobile phones within a month.
This follows the signing on Sunday of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Dubai eGovernment and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The service, which comes under the mPay service and was initially launched to provide recharge of Salik, has now been extended for the payment of bills by Dewa customers.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA, said the service would help save time and efforts of customers. “This will make it a lot easier to pay DEWA bills. Even if the customers are not in the UAE, they can still pay the bills by the mPay service,” he said. Salem Al Shair, eServices director of Dubai eGovernment, said: “This will certainly benefit a large number of DEWA customers who can now pay their utility bills through mobile phones.” Registration for the mPay service is free and clients can sign up on the mPay’s web portal. Meanwhile, DEWA and Emirates NBD have also signed an MoU to offer direct debit payment facility to ENBD account-holders.
Dubai Immigration Offers Value-added Online Services for Customers
Dubai Immigration Offers Value-added Online Services for Customers
Staff reporter KHALEEJ TIMES 21 October 2008
DUBAI – The Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) unveiled a number of value-added customer care automated services at the ongoing Gitex-2008 which aims at offering customers the opportunity to make best use of the new technologies to process their various applications, according to a Press release on Sunday.
Following on the success of its highly acclaimed service ‘Amer’ which provides customers with prompt answers to all their DNRD related enquiries, the department will now receive enquiries and requests through a variety of initiatives including online chatting through the web site http://www.amer.ae, and video calling through 3G technology on mobile phones, in addition to the Toll-free (8005111), fax number (04- 3981177) and the email (amer@dnrd.ae).
Customers can also follow up on the processing of their transactions through self-service kiosks that will be set in various locations to simplify procedures and provide convenient services for customers.
The kiosk allows customers to perform a variety of operations without the need to visit DNRD’s counters including applying for and enquiring about visa status as well as printing your own residence visa and other types of visas.
Nationals will also have the facility to renew their passports instantly through this system.
Another initiative, which was introduced, is called the Mobile visa service ‘M-Visa’. Upon issuance of entry visa permits (all types included), customers receive instant notifications via email and text messages in a form of a barcode.
Upon arrival at any of UAE entry points through Dubai, the barcode scanner set up at the DNRD checkpoints will read the details of the entry permit directly from the mobile devices of the visitors.
