UAE Issues New Ordinary Passports in Just Two Days

The United Arab Emirates government has confirmed that it takes only two days to issue a new ordinary passport to UAE nationals applying for the first time. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) published the details on its official website, outlining the timeline and steps for applicants.

The process is entirely digital and conducted through approved service channels. Applicants must submit their application online, review their details, and make necessary corrections.

If required documents are not accessible through government systems, applicants must upload them manually. After ensuring all documents are in order, the prescribed service fee must be paid before the application proceeds.

Once all steps are completed, the new passport is delivered to the applicant via an authorized delivery company, eliminating the need for in-person collection. The service is exclusively for UAE nationals obtaining a passport for the first time, while renewal applications or replacements for lost or damaged passports follow a different process.
