Renewing a UAE passport abroad
- Possible when the passport has expired or has one year or less of validity left
- Apply online through ICP or the MoFA smart services with UAE PASS (“Renew Passports of UAE Nationals Abroad”) and note the reference number
- A personal photo meeting ICAO standards (not identical to the current passport photo)
- A letter from the embassy confirming the reason for your stay abroad (e.g. study, treatment or work)
- Hand in the original passport and photo at the embassy, pay the fee there and collect the renewed passport later
