Simple Guide to Renewing UAE Passports Abroad in 3 Easy Steps: If you're an Emirati living outside the UAE and your passport is either expired or close to expiring, don't worry! You can renew your passport easily in just three simple steps using the UAEICP service.
This service is perfect for Emiratis abroad due to medical or educational reasons. Once your passport renewal is processed, the new passport will be sent to the UAE Embassy in your current location for you to collect.

Log in to your account: Use your digital ID to access the UAEICP website or app.
Select Passport Renewal Service: Choose the option for renewing passports for citizens.
Submit Application: Complete and submit your application. Ensure that all the information is correct and up-to-date. Pay the required fees and choose how you want to receive your new passport (either delivered to your address or to the UAE Embassy).
