Things to note before Emirates ID update in du

For the Emirates ID update in du, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth process. The most important part of the process is to upload your Emirates ID, and these are the things you must take care of: [2] Du mobile, “Update your Emirates ID., https://myaccount.du.ae/servlet/myaccount/en/mya-renewal-login.html#:~:text=Frequently%20asked%20questions”

  • Be sure to upload both the front and back sides of the ID separately.
  • The ID should be placed against a plain background for ease of scanning. A blank wall or a clean sheet of paper will do.
  • The photo should be placed at a perfect distance from the camera. If the picture is too close or too far away, it may not be of good enough quality.
  • Don’t use flash when taking the picture. Natural light is best for a high-quality picture, so take the picture in a well-lit place and avoid dark rooms or shadows.
  • And finally, don’t crop the picture. Upload the full image for the best results.

These simple guidelines will help ensure a smooth and hassle-free image upload process.

Furthermore, three things must be remembered before you update the Emirates online. You can only update Emirates ID on your own phone or computer online under three conditions:

  1. You must have verified your biometrics and other information with du when you took the number.
  2. Your UAE Emirates ID must expire in 30 days or less.
  3. You must not be a corporate customer. [3]Du mobile, “Update your Emirates ID., https://myaccount.du.ae/servlet/myaccount/en/mya-renewal-login.html#:~:text=your%20ID%20status-,Before%20you%20begin,-To%20successfully%20update”

Also, remember that if your number is registered with your passport or your GCC national ID, you cannot update your Emirates ID online.

This means that the mobile app and website will not help with the process. Such people have to visit a du store near you in the United Arab Emirates for a new ID registration.
