The United Arab Emirates has made a decision regarding the replacement of passports.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) passport replacement service can be obtained by citizens through the official website of the authority or through a smartphone application. The federal authority for identity, citizenship, Customs, and port security has identified four steps that citizens must accomplish in order to obtain the service.
Conditions for using the passport replacement service
The governing body explained that in order to use this service, customers are required to:
First and foremost, the process of registering and creating a personal account through a digital identity (UAEPASS) or, in the event that prior registration has been completed, access to electronic services.
Secondly, selecting a passport issuance service and subsequently determining the reason for requesting a replacement passport, such as as a result of the pages being full or for other reasons.
Third: submitting the application, reviewing and updating the data that was retrieved, and paying the fees that are required.
The fourth step is to obtain the passport by means of delivery companies that have been approved by the relevant authority. As a means of avoiding delays in the completion of the transaction, she emphasized the importance of ensuring the accuracy of the data that was entered, verifying the validity of the identification number and the date on which it will expire in the application for renewal or replacement, and ensuring the accuracy and correctness of the data that was entered in the electronic form prior to making the payment of the fees. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of ensuring that the data that was entered in the electronic form was accurate and correct.
Verify the validity of your phone number and email address
The authority also stated that it is necessary to verify the authenticity of the phone number, e-mail address, and delivery method that are listed in the electronic form. They also mentioned that the federal authority for identity, citizenship, Customs, and port security is able to review and audit all of the data that is entered into the form. It was brought to her attention that the application is automatically rejected if the required data is not completed within thirty days of the date of its return to complete the data, or in applications that are returned three times due to deficiencies in the required data and documents. In the event that the application is rejected, the applicant is only eligible to receive a refund for the issuance fees and financial guarantees, as stated in the financial receipt.
