The Amer center in Al Jafiliya is Quality General Services, the only Amer center GDRFA lists in the district. Al Jafiliya is also home to GDRFA Head Quarters, behind Jafiliya Police Station, which is GDRFA's own office, not an Amer center. Most people searching "Amer center Jafiliya" want one of those two. Around them are 11 private typing and clearing shops, 10 of them typing offices.

Source: GDRFA list of Amer centers and customer happiness centers, checked . In Ramadan, GDRFA Head Quarters works 09:00 to 17:00, with a Friday break from 12:00 to 14:00.
Start at Quality General Services or any Amer center for routine work. Wherever you submit it, a visa application is the same GDRFA file. The head office is for the cases an Amer counter tells you it cannot finish, so taking a simple renewal there first usually costs you a trip. Our page on the full Bur Dubai picture lists the other 12 Amer centers on this side of the creek.
The "Amer center Dubai main branch"
There is no Amer main branch. Amer is not one company with a head branch. Each Amer center is a separate business holding a GDRFA licence. What people usually mean by the main branch is GDRFA Head Quarters here in Al Jafiliya, the authority's own office.
The typing shops on 29 Street
Al Jafiliya's private shops are typing offices more than clearing firms, and 9 of the 11 are at street level. Four sit on 29 Street and give the Emirates Identity Authority and Bur Dubai police station as landmarks: Al Hijrah Typing, Al Hanan Typing, Darwaish Shakeel Typing and Green Bell Typing. Taha Yaseen Documents Clearing is round the corner on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road.
They open early. Taha Yaseen starts at 07:00, and three of the 29 Street shops at 07:30. For a later visit, Dream Point Typing and Qmh Almnarh Documents Clearing on 35th Street both list 22:00. None of them shows Sunday hours. Supreme Digital Business Services, listed by Yellow Pages UAE inside Max Metro Station, has no hours on record. All private rows come from HiDubai or Yellow Pages and may be out of date.
A shop here can type your Emirates ID application or a supporting letter. It cannot file a visa: Amer centers took that over on .
Nearby
Three Amer centers are in Mankhool, and Karama and Satwa have more. If you are changing visa type inside the country, the status change page has the steps. Track any GDRFA file with the visa status check.
