The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai in corporation with Emirates Identity Authority implemented successfully the electronic gate system service (E-gate) on the Emirates identity card, where holders can opt to use their ID card at Dubai International Airport Terminal 3 arrivals for more convenience.

Moreover, holders do not need to activate this service at the Emirates Identity Authority prior to travel.

Major General Obaid Mohair Bin Surour, Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai said that Emiratis and UAE residents could use their valid ID card through the e-gate system in Dubai International Airport Terminal 3 at the arrival.

Maj. Gen. Bin Surour said that there are twenty eight e-gates in the arrivals building Terminal 3 where holders can use the convenient service without the need to pre-register or pay any fees, but must have a valid identity card.

Furthermore, he said that this is the first stage of the navigation e-gate system being put to use using the identity card and with hopes that the service will be implemented on all the Terminals 1, 2 and 3, for Arrivals and Departures in the coming future.

Maj. Gen. Ben Surour emphasised that it is important to work to give the public and travelers’ convenience and hassle-free experience at our airports for them.

Brigadier Talal Al Shanqeeti, Assistant of the Director-General for airports says the use of the Emirates ID card at the e-gates is a vital project, which will in the future provide more convenience.
