Correct passport, name or personal details on a Dubai residence record through the right GDRFA service.

Visas & identity · Reviewed 25 September 2026

If you need to amend residence visa data Dubai, start by identifying the exact record and authority involved. The live official service remains the final source for eligibility, documents, timing and any calculated charge.

Check what is actually wrong

Compare the residence record with the passport and Emirates ID. Note the exact spelling, number or personal detail that differs; a new passport and a clerical error may require different supporting evidence.

Prepare the evidence

Keep the current and previous passport where relevant, residence details, Emirates ID and sponsor documents ready. If a legal name or civil-status change caused the difference, use the certificate requested by the live service.

Submit one accurate request

Choose Data Amendment of Residency Visa in GDRFA’s residency-services directory. Review the current checklist, upload readable documents and save the transaction reference. Do not open a second paid case while the first is active.

Verify linked records

After approval, check the amended residence record and then confirm whether ICP, an employer, bank or insurer needs a separate update. A corrected immigration record does not guarantee that every private database changes automatically.

Use only official channels. Never share an OTP, banking password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval with an agent.
