Emirates ID Card to replace Labor Card soon
It is now reported that the Emirates ID Card will soon replace the Labor Card – the expected date for this is somewhere in June 2012.
Saqr Gobash Saeed Gobash, Minister of Labour, has said that the decision would be implemented as soon as the Emirates National Identity Authority (Eida) was sure that all expatriates in the UAE were registered and had applied for the Emirates ID.
“After the completion of ID registration of all expatriates in the country, the labour card will be eradicated and replaced by the Emirates ID,” he said.

Emirates ID Card to replace Labour Card by next year
It seems that the real life usage of Emirates ID Card is just around the corner now, almost.
As stated by Saqr Gobash, the Minister of Labour, expatriates will no longer need to have a Labour Card by late 2012 when a decision to replace it with the national identity card is enforced.
“The Ministry of Labour will scrap all Labour Cards once it receives a request from Eida….there will be no need for all expatriates to carry too many cards after the ID registration is completed in the second half of 2012.”

Emirates Post Office to discard ID Cards not picked up in 30 days
The Emirates Identity Authority has informed ID card applicants today through advertisements in local dailies that they must pick up their ID cards from Empost centres within 30 days of notification, or risk losing their card and the fees paid by them.
“30 days is the limit for picking up your ID card from an Emirates Post Office,” the ads published today said. “If not picked up, your card will be discarded and your fees will be forfeited,” it adds in bold red, without mincing any words.

Emirates ID Card renewal must with job change
Here is another shocker from Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA). According to a report, ID Card renewal is a must with a job change.
Residents who change jobs will have to renew their National Identity Cards as well, according to Emirates Identity Authority (Eida).
Those who change their residency visas and do not renew their ID cards will be considered as violating law and will be required to pay fines, reported ‘Al Ittihad’ newspaper.
Eida urged residents to keep a close watch on the expiry of ID cards vis-a-vis visa validity to avoid paying fines.
