(I've tried asking Emirates directly on this issue and they just insist that a passport photo is needed and make vague hand-waving noises about where to activate. Not helpful).
I've been told that twice at the DNRD office at T3 Arrivals - I'm not sure if it's policy or shall we say, UAE bureaucracy at work (as it was pretty empty both times I went). Twice I went to T3 Fast track departures and there was no one in there.

The DNRD at dnata SZR is the non-airport one I was told would do it (or T1).
