What a typing centre does
It fills in and submits UAE government applications for you. The decision always sits with a government authority.

FAQ
Is there a typing centre near me in Abu Dhabi that is open now?
We don't show opening hours: the official lists we use give none. Use “Nearest first” above, then call the centre before you go.
Can I do it online instead?
Often, yes. ICP services are available on the ICP smart services website and the UAEICP app, and Dubai services on the GDRFA Dubai website (u.ae). A typing centre helps when forms, uploads or Arabic paperwork get in the way.
Is a typing centre a government office?
No. It is a private business accredited to submit applications. The government authority decides.
What is a visa typing center?
A typing centre that handles UAE entry permits and residence visas. It cannot apply for foreign visas such as Schengen; for those, use a visa agency or the visa application centre.
