  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, October 13 - 2009 at 12:43

UAE Residency permits, labour cards and national ID cards will be merged into one card under a single application process from next July, The National has reported. These applications are overseen by the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Labour and the Emirates Identity Authority. Under the new system, which will be implemented on new arrivals from next summer, each ministry will still be responsible for approving applications in its area, but the application process will be overseen entirely by the authority. The medical tests will also include the taking of fingerprints, iris scans and facial biometrics.
