The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) won the award for the newly redesigned Emirati passport, which showcases the UAE’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge advances in travel documentation.

One of the standout features of the new passport is its hologram logo, integrated with advanced security features. This logo adds a dynamic and visually striking element to the datapage , offering a sophisticated layer of protection against counterfeiting.

Another key security enhancement is the high-precision security thread embedded within the passport, which strengthens its overall protection by serving as a deterrent to anyone attempting to tamper with or forge the document. Additionally, the passport incorporates 3D intaglio printing showing the holder’s date of birth.

A transparent window on the passport displays the UAE state emblem, surrounded by intricate artistic elements that both reflect the nation’s identity and provides an additional layer of security.

The photograph of the passport holder is printed using laser technology, incorporating high-security characteristics that safeguard against any attempts to alter or counterfeit the image.

The UAE’s commitment to digital transformation is also evident in the streamlined process for passport issuance and renewal. According to the World Competitiveness Report 2023, the UAE has achieved the remarkable feat of being the fastest country to issue passports, with a processing time of just 8 minutes and 24 seconds!
