How to Renew Your UAE Passport

Make sure your UAE passport is up to date if you’re preparing for a trip abroad.

Your UAE passport is your golden ticket to travelling the globe, so it’s crucial that it remains valid for at least six months after your intended departure date.

Renew Your UAE Passport Holders

With visa-free travel to 133 countries and facilities for obtaining a visa upon arrival in 35 countries, the UAE passport is one of the most useful passports in the world.

Therefore, if you are from the UAE and are considering travelling in 2023, make sure your passport is still valid by checking its expiration date.

How to Renew Your UAE Passport Online

Through the ICP Smart Services site, the UAE government offers a simple online process for passport renewal. Take the actions listed below:

Log in to the ICP passport renewal website. Registration is necessary if you don’t already have a UAE Pass account.
The service “Issuing a passport” should be chosen.
Fill in the required fields as directed.
Make any service charges due.

A confirmation email for your request to renew your passport will be issued once it has been submitted. The updated passport will be sent to you via a delivery provider that has been approved after processing your application.

Renew Your UAE Passport In-Person

Due to unique circumstances, you might occasionally need to renew your passport in person. The Customer Happiness Centres of the ICP can help you in these situations.

However, keep in mind that not all centers offer this service, and that in-person renewal of a UAE passport is only possible during center office hours. Fortunately, there is just a 5-minute wait and the appointment itself only lasts for 7 minutes.

Visit this page to find the location of the customer happiness centres in the UAE, as well as to view their operating hours and services. Verify if the centre of your choice’s list of services includes passport renewal.
