Passport Renewal / Replacement Support
Passport Renewal and Replacement Support is a crucial service for expatriates residing in the UAE. A valid passport is the most fundamental document for any foreign national, serving as proof of identity and nationality, and is a prerequisite for maintaining legal residency. This service simplifies the often complex and time-consuming process of handling passport-related matters with a client's home country embassy or consulate.
Key Services Provided
- Passport Renewal: This is the most common service, required to update an expiring passport. An agency manages the entire process, including preparing the application, scheduling appointments at the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensuring all documents meet the specific requirements of the home country's government.
- Passport Replacement: For cases involving a lost, stolen, or damaged passport, an agency provides urgent support. This is a more complex process that often requires filing a police report and following specific, strict embassy protocols. The service ensures all steps are completed correctly to expedite the issuance of a new passport.
- Passport Updates & Endorsements: The service also assists with updating personal details on a passport, such as a change in name after marriage or divorce, or adding new endorsements as required by the home country’s laws.
