I would just go to the CID HQ which is on the way to Sharjah. I went last month and had no problems. It seemed as though they were used to such requests.
Are you requesting another certificate?
I wish I had asked before going today. The call centre and the officer were pushing for the online application though. I guess it's only the HQ that does it the old way for some reason.
I'll wait for the one I requested to be sent by email. I managed to find an article that mentions that all eDocuments can be verified through the link below by entering a reference number and security code mentioned on the document. I suppose CIC uses it as they mention that you can apply online.

If it works, then I'll probably just stick with it even though my Emirates ID photo makes me look like a criminal lol
