For those whose Emirates IDs are still under process, please send a copy of the Emirates ID application to the Registrar via registrar_daa@gemsedu.com.   The registration of the Emirates ID is required before the child's first date of attendance. 

If the Parent/Sponsor’s Passport or Residency visa has changed since your initial application, please also supply us with up to date copies.

Once the KHDA registration is approved, parents are required to sign a KHDA Parent School Contract.  Parents new to DAA will receive their contract once they register with the school with their Emirates IDs.  A signature will be required from new parents at the time that they register with the school. For more information on the contract, please visit: https://www.khda.gov.ae/en/parentcontracten

For any questions regarding the Emirates ID  or KHDA Registration, please contact our Government Relations Executive, Soheir Mohamed s.mohamed_daa@gemsedu.com. 

Students from Grades 3 - 12 are issued DAA Student ID cards which are to be worn on campus and can be used in the Slices cafeterias or STS bus service.  Once the parent has completed the GEMS Connect App uploaded all required photos, the student ID card will automatically be generated and given to the student via their homeroom teacher.  ID cards are valid for the duration of your child's enrollment with us.   

Students in Lower Elementary (K-Gr2) will not be issued ID cards unless they use the bus.  Parents are able to place an delivery order from the cafeteria for classroom delivery.  See Slices Cafeteria page for further detail.
