UAE Citizens Can Get 24-Hour Service of Passport Renewal at Airports

The passport renewal services at Dubai and Abu Dhabi's airports will now be available 24 hours a day for UAE citizens.

UAE citizens can apply for a new passport through five channels, one of which is the Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports. 

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs explained that if a UAE citizen's passport is lost, damaged, or no longer valid, then the citizen should contact the UAE embassy or consulate. After applying for a new one, the individual will be able to obtain his or her passport at the airport. 

When applying for a new passport, the applicant has to submit three documents, which are:

• A family book or a copy of it
• The original Emirates ID or a copy of it
• A recent personal photograph
