How to Handle a Lost Passport in UAE: A Complete Guide

Losing a passport can be a distressing experience, especially when you’re far from home in the UAE. Whether you’re a tourist or a resident, knowing the immediate steps to take can mitigate the stress and potential complications. Here’s your definitive guide to dealing with a lost passport in UAE:

Step 1: Visit Our QSM Center

Visit our QSM Center in Al Qusais Industrial Area 3, Dubai. Our experts will assist you with all the steps required for reporting a lost passport in UAE.

Step 2: File a Police Report For The Lost Passport

We will immediately report your lost passport using the Dubai Police App, Smart Police Stations (SPS), or the MOI App; no physical station visit is required. You’ll still need to provide identification and any available travel documents to us. The report is crucial, as it’s required by consulates and immigration authorities for further steps in reporting a lost passport in UAE. QSM handles this entire digital process on your behalf, quickly and hassle-free.

Step 3: Notify Your Embassy 

Contact your country’s embassy in the UAE. Each country’s process might differ slightly, but generally, you’ll need to:

  1. Provide the police report of lost passport
  2. Fill out forms for a replacement passport.
  3. Show identification, like a driver’s license or birth certificate.

Step 4: Lost Passport Requirements

Submit the following documents to our experts:

  1. Completed application forms.
  2. Passport-sized photographs.
  3. Emirates ID (if have)
  4. Passport Copy
  5. Sponsor’s NOC (for employment visa holders)

Step 5: Update Your Passport Data in the ICP/GDRFA System 

Since physical visa stamping is no longer required in the UAE, you must update your new passport details in the ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security) or GDRFA system to link it with your Emirates ID. This ensures your residency and visa records reflect your new passport information. QSM can handle this update on your behalf, ensuring your documents are correctly linked without any delays.

Key Points

  • 1. Police Report: Essential for all further administrative procedures
  • 2. Consulate Notification: Necessary for reissuance of your passport
  • 3. Requirements and Fees: Differ based on your nationality

Losing Your Passport in
