Thank You Geordee,
We have contacted the authority but there is nothing worth mentioning they just don't provide any valued information to validate the EID,
currently we are considering some sort of exceptions for those EIDs that dose not follow the Luhn algorithm.
I'll let you know if we get anything new.
Thanks for sharing it @geordee! Is it a good idea to use it for my emiratesidstatuscheck blog? Please respond.
Yes. Please go ahead.

Thank you Naser.
I started getting a few queries on Emirates ID check digit. I have updated this Gist to consider the 4 digits after 784 any group of 4 numbers. However that does not seem to resolve the issue.
The issue I see is that either the check digit may not be using the Luhn algorithm, or Luhn check digit might be calculated on a truncated sequence of numbers.
Also, please note that, I maintain this as a repo at https://github.com/geordee/eid
