As someone who’s a UAE citizen and cardholder myself, I’ve gone through this process more than once. My name’s Ali Al-Mansoor, and I’m here to walk you through it, not like some cold government FAQ but like a friend who’s been in your shoes and knows exactly what to expect.
In this blog, I’ll show you how to renew your Esaad card step by step and advise you to do so quickly, without being demanding and hassle-free.
What is the Esaad Card?
The Esaad Card is an exclusive discount and privilege card issued by the Dubai Police for government employees and select eligible residents in the UAE. It provides access to thousands of deals across various sectors, including healthcare, education, retail, travel, hospitality, and more, both locally and internationally.
Simply put, it’s your golden ticket to lifestyle perks and significant savings, all while acknowledging your service and contributions to the community.
Methods to Renew the Esaad Card
1. Renewing via the Official Esaad Website
At least this is my procedure of choice, and it is likely the simplest one for most of you.
Steps
- Go to the official Esaad portal: https://esaad.dubaipolice.gov.ae
- Enter with your current Esaad login details
- Go to card renewal, or renew my Esaad card.
- Upload documents if requested (Emirates ID copy, photo, employment letter, etc.)
- The application should be submitted.
What You Need
- A valid Emirates ID
- A likely employment certificate or salary letter
- Your current Esaad card number
2. Renewing Through Your HR Department or Government Entity
As a government employee (particularly in Dubai), you might have your HR department take care of the renewal process.
How It Works
- Dubai Police typically alerts or reminds the HR department
- They collect employee documents internally, which are required
- Applications of renewal are made in mass quantities
- The cards may either be handed out in the office or sent to employees
What You Should Do
- Check that their records have accurate records of your employment specifics
- Give them any new Emirates ID copies or job letters.
3. Renewal via Esaad Customer Service / Helpline
This technique is the best:
- You are experiencing technical problems on the site
- You don’t have access to HR support
- You do not know whether you are eligible or hold a card
How to Contact
- Contact the official helpline of Esaad
- State your case well
- Enter your Emirates ID number and card particulars
- Request metaphorically or assisted renewal
They will then refer to the next steps or finish it on the telephone or through email.
