The works included redesigning the centre to increase its daily capacity from 2800 customers to around 3200 customers.

This falls within the framework of renovation project aimed at improving Emirates ID centres across the UAE to provide qualitative and distinguished customer services according to the highest global standards.

Al Mazrouei noted that the number of registration counters in the centre was increased to 25; 16 to serve men and 9 for ladies. 11 out of the 16 counters allocated for men are for registration, 2 for customer service and 3 for data updates.
