Black out your Emirates ID number before sharing
Hide your Emirates ID number before you share, without uploading it.
Your Emirates ID number is a primary identifier in the UAE, tied to your residency, banking and government records. When you share a document for another purpose, you can black the number out. This tool removes it on export, all in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.
