UAE unveils unified passport & Emirates ID renewal service
Khaleej Times
|December 05, 2025
In a move to streamline administrative processes for citizens, the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has launched a service that unifies passport and Emirates ID card renewal in a single step. Citizens will not have to renew each separately.
This new development, announced as part of the government’s “Zero Bureaucracy” initiative, allows Emirati citizens to renew both documents simultaneously through the UAEICP smart application. The service will save time and effort by eliminating the need for separate applications and procedures.
