(MENAFN) Emirates Identity Authority (Eida) said that Expatriates and Emiratis in the UAE could face fines of USD5 for each day they fail to possess an Emirates ID card under a new decree that comes into effect Sunday, September 4, reported Arabian Business.
The Authority also said that the UAE residents could be charged up to USD272 under the daily penalty outlined in Cabinet decision No.25 for 2011, issued on July 5, that aims to persuade residents to sign up for the mandatory identification cards.
Eida added that the ruling also lays out daily fines for residents that fail to renew their ID cards within 30 days of the expiry date, or to update key data within a 30-day period.
It is worth noting that The Emirates Identity Authority has faced an uphill struggle in convincing UAE residents to sign up for their mandatory identification cards, despite a series of deadlines.
