Imagine a future where getting your passport renewed or processing your Emirates ID is as easy as grabbing a quick snack at a vending machine. UAE is on the verge of making this a reality, and it’s all thanks to the innovative 24/7 kiosks announced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP). UAE nationals and residents are in for a treat with the upcoming introduction of kiosks that allow them to renew passports and process Emirates IDs around the clock. This means no more rushing to government offices during business hours or waiting for appointments. Here are all the details you need to know about it.
The ICP is not stopping at just one central renewal kiosks. They have a visionary plan to place these passport and ID kiosks in prime locations across the country, including airports and malls. This move is designed to make these essential services more accessible and hassle-free for everyone.
In the initial phase, residents and visitors in the UAE will be able to submit their biometrics through these cutting-edge kiosks. No more struggling to secure an appointment at ICP service centres, as these services will be available 24/7 in the near future.

But here’s the real game-changer: these kiosks won’t just collect your data; they will also print your Emirates ID and visas on the spot. That’s right – you’ll walk in with your old ID and walk out with a brand-new one. For UAE nationals, they can even print passports, and for visitors, visas will be a breeze.
And it’s not just for UAE nationals and residents. These kiosks are open to foreign visitors too. Need a SIM card for your stay? No problem. The kiosks will capture your fingerprints, signatures, and even take your photo, making the whole process smooth and efficient.
The ICP is hard at work on this project. If all goes well, we might see these kiosks in action as early as the end of 2023 or 2024. The future of passport and ID processing in the UAE is fast, efficient, and accessible 24/7. Stay tuned for this exciting development that will make life easier for residents and visitors alike.
