Anyhow below are the directions for someone trying to locate the EIDA in Rashidiya.<br /><br />(1) Take the Rashidia exit from Emirates Road <br />(2) At the First Signal, take a left. <br />(3) Go down the road, take a U-Turn on the round about and come back towards the Metro <br />(4) Take a right near the Metro <br />With Metro on the left and KFC on the right, go straight <br />2nd Round About, take right. Dont expect a big round about. The round abouts are very small.<br />(5) Go further and take the first left (You will see Halawa Super market on the left (green board) <br />(6) Take left again <br />(7) Then immediate right <br />(8) Go a little further and you will then see Mirdiff City Center on the far end <br />(9) The road will curve to the right and there you will find the EIDA building.<br /><br />It is a little bit of a treasure hunt no doubt. Wonder why the authorities dont do anything about putting up signboards leading to the EIDA center..!!!Prashanthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-81283912455644096822009-04-15T11:58:00.000+04:002009-04-15T11:58:00.000+04:00Info on the location of the EIDA Rashidiya Office:...Info on the location of the EIDA Rashidiya Office:<br />go to www.wikimapia.com ; search for 'emirates identity' and it will give you the location.<br />It's inside Rashidiya, close to the Metro depot & KFC, behind 'Halawa supermarket' and in sight of Emirates Rd. It's not signposted at all & tricky to find.<br /><br />Good Luck!<br />To apply for the Identity Card you need to bring your passport and preferably fill out your pre-registration form which you can obtain from www.emiratesid.ae <br />The actual processing time takes about 30 minutes (+waiting time). At first the personal data from the pre-registration form is verified. As a second step a biometric picture as well as a complete fingerprint scan is taken. No preparation other than the filling of the pre-registration form is required for the appointment. <br /><br />!!! Note that the google-map link for this EIDA Rashidiya office displayed at the above mentioned website is incorrect (as of APR2009) and will misguide you to the Festival City. !!!mfgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-91780468345799295292008-11-10T15:46:00.000+04:002008-11-10T15:46:00.000+04:00Anon the website has google maps for the offices. ...<B>Anon</B> the website has google maps for the offices.

The man at the PO said that the office was near KFC. I've driven up and down the KFC road but can't see anything official looking.

After almost an hour I got through on the telephone and then had to spend another half an hour listening to the music I got through to a person who helped me generate my appointment time.<BR/><BR/>The best thing is I could not get any appointment in Shrjah, Dubai or Ajman my appointment is in Al-Dhaid area on 23rd November in the morning.<BR/><BR/>I have also been told by the telephone attendent that I must appear with passport, printed form and a letter issued by employer that I am their employee and working with them. This is something new neither advertised on the website nor written in the newspapers.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many of you faced this problem it at all anyone of you did face it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-2556900604961250172008-11-03T11:21:00.000+04:002008-11-03T11:21:00.000+04:00Jitheshar, I had no problem with the bar code.
