Editing National identification number (section)

=== United Arab Emirates ===
The Emirates Identity Authority ({{langx|ar|links=no|هيئة الإمارات للهوية}}) issues an Identity Card ({{langx|ar|links=no|بطاقة الهوية}}) to each citizen and resident. The cardholder's name, nationality, gender and date of birth are printed on the card. The card also bears a unique 15-digit Identification Number ({{langx|ar|links=no|رقم الهوية}}), which is used for identity verification by the government and some private entities. Inside the card is an electronic chip which contains personal and biometric data about the cardholder.<ref>[http://www.eida.gov.ae/en/id-card/card-features-and-looks.aspx Card Features and Looks]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621113405/http://www.eida.gov.ae/en/id-card/card-features-and-looks.aspx |date=21 June 2012 }}</ref>
