Common mistakes (and how to fix them)
Mistake | Why it happens | How to fix it |
|---|---|---|
Wrong emirate portal | Using DHA for Abu Dhabi or vice versa. | Confirm your emirate first; use the table above. |
Typo in Emirates ID | Entering 14 or 16 digits, or mixing numbers. | Re‑enter the exact 15 digits from your card. |
Expired Emirates ID | ID expired, but policy is still active. | Renew your Emirates ID, then check again. |
Policy not yet active | Insured yesterday; portal not updated. | Wait 1–2 business days; if still blank, contact the insurer. |
The employer hasn’t enrolled you | HR/PRO didn’t submit your Emirates ID to the insurer. | Ask HR/PRO to register/update your record with the insurer/TPA. |
Using the old insurer name | You switched insurers but still search for the old one. | Try the new insurer’s app/site or the emirate portal directly. |
Poor internet/timeout | Page doesn’t load or hangs. | Switch to Wi‑Fi or mobile data; refresh the page. |
Ignoring expiry date | Only checking if “active”, not when it ends. | Note the expiry date and set a reminder 30 days before. |
