How to Replace a UAE Passport
Use ICP’s passport-replacement service for an eligible UAE national when pages are full or approved personal details must change.
Start with the right authority
ICP’s replacement service is for UAE nationals who need a new passport because pages are full or permitted personal details have changed. A lost or damaged passport, first passport and routine renewal may follow different services. Select the reason that matches the actual case so the authority requests the correct evidence.
Step by step
1. Identify the replacement reason
Check whether the passport is full, details have legally changed, it is damaged or it has been lost. Do not use a detail-change route to bypass a loss report.
2. Update supporting records first
If a legal name or other personal detail changed, make sure the civil and identity records required by ICP are already supported by official documents.
3. Apply through ICP
Sign in with UAE Pass, select the correct passport service and upload the clear files requested. Review delivery or collection instructions before paying.
4. Check the new passport immediately
Confirm the Arabic and English name, date of birth, passport number and validity when received. Update airlines, visas and institutions that relied on the old number.
Important: Do not travel with a cancelled passport. A replacement number can affect existing visas, tickets and border records, so verify each linked document.
