Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) has announced the launch of the New Registration Strategy (NRS), deemed a main pillar of the institutional development plan that EIDA began to implement. The plan pays special attention to strategic thought by building the required strategies for EIDA and providing various initiatives contributing to making the necessary positive change, according to EIDA’s press release. EIDA announced launching the New Registration Strategy (NRS), a main pillar of the institutional development plan that EIDA began to implement. Such plan pays special attention to strategic thought by building the required strategies for EIDA and providing various initiatives contributing to making the necessary positive change. Dr. Eng. Ali Mohamed Al Khuri, Deputy Chairman of the Senior Management Committee at EIDA declared that the NRS adopted recently by the Board of Directors represents the outcome of keen directions and continuous follow up by Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors. It is also the outcome of continuous efforts exerted by the committee constituted by His Highness for reviewing and upgrading the registration plan with effective participation from the representatives of both the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Labor, EIDA’s Board of Directors and the Office of the Deputy of Prime Minister and Minister of Interior. The Deputy Chairman of the Senior Management Committee added that NRS will focus on the primary goal for which EIDA was established, i.e. establishing a population register for nationals and non nationals residing in the UAE and issuing an ID card for every person registered in the records of the UAE within the framework of an effective registration plan based upon reengineering procedures, connecting registration with the process of visa issuance and renewal and developing the system of standard electronic registration form. Dr. Ali Al Khuri declared EIDA’s intention to establish registration centers at the centers of preventive medicine and other locations; coordinate with schools and universities and activate their role in the process of registering students, referring to the cancellation of ordering those below fifteen years old to go to registration centers; and register workers at their places of residence in addition to a number of other new procedures. It is expected that NRS will participate in lowering the period of finalizing transactions from 20 minutes to reach 8-10 minutes for eac; increasing the rate of registrants every day, gradually, through registration centers to 8,000 (one million and a half per annum); and increasing the rate of registrants, gradually, through preventive medicine centers coinciding with the process of visa issuance and renewal for residents to reach 12,000 persons per day (two million per annum). On the other part, Deputy Chairman of the Senior Management Committee emphasized that EIDA will establish a greater center for registering population in Abu Dhabi City with higher capacity instead of the current center at Al Musharraf area, upon the suggestions of the public and in response to their remarks concerning the narrowness and unsuitability of the current center. |
