Where's the best place to renew my Emirates ID?

Where's the best place to renew my Emirates ID? All the typing places listed on the Emirates ID website that I've called so far are asking me to leave my passport with them - as if! - or else arrive at 7.30am and battle to be one of the few people whose renewal applications they decide to process for the day. That would be fine except that I have a young baby and a full-time job!

Can any of you recommend one of the more professional Emirates ID affiliaited typing centres since the actual Emirates ID centres only process new applications?

TIA

If it's only renewal, you just need to go to any typing center, bring your old EID & Original Passport. Fill-up renewal application form. They'll just check your passport & they'll canceled your Old ID (punched a hole in it). And wait for sms informing you where to collect your new EID. HIH

If it's only renewal then I think you can get it done at a typing centre and not need to go to the ID place itself. On Time at Knowledge village was excellent with me - no need to leave my passport - done and dusted very quickly. Tel 044343020

I second Al Barsha, they do both the typing and applications. I had a right ole time recently, still need my ID, just havent bothered yet, as I am not over the stress yet.

I renewed mine 10 days ago at the typing center just next to the "Jafliya metro station". The good point : I didn't have to leave my passport there (I wouldn't have anyway). The bad point : no news so far, will I ever get a new card ?

I got mine (new app) done at a little mail/typing place on SZR... they were listed so shouldn't be a problem. They submitted the forms and I paid my money then I got a text when it was time to go for photos... not sure if they do renewals though...

Hello When i renewed mine i did it at the ID place in Barsha It was a year ago mind but i managed to get an appointment and it was pretty quick as it was a renewal and not a new application Have they changed the procedure for renewals :-)
