How much is the fee?

When cleared, pay a passport fee of Dh240. If not cleared, make sure you understand the processor’s instructions and come back to the embassy as required.

After payment, your biometric and other data will get encoded.

You have to make sure your name, address and other details are correct at this stage.

Cost of renewal in case of any errors would be borne by the applicant.

Collection of your passport

It might take 6 to 12 weeks to get your new passport. This is why the consulate and embassy advise getting started at least 10 months prior to your passport’s expiry date.

When collecting the passport, the applicant must be present in person and should also submit the old passport (if not submitted earlier) and his or her passport fee receipt.

For people who aren’t able to collect it in person can only authorise immediate family members for collection.

In this case, the collector needs to have an authorisation letter, a copy of any valid government approved ID and the old passport (if not submitted earlier).
