Conditions, time and validity
- The work permit must be active on the establishment's file.
- Valid licence without suspending violations; the authorised signatory applies.
- Processing time
- MOHRE (modification service): 2 working days.
- Validity of the result
- The updated data stays on the permit until its expiry.
- Where it is applied for
- MOHRE business service centres (Tasheel), MOHRE website and smart app; the establishment's authorised signatory logs in with UAE PASS. Our centre submits it at Tasheel for you.
Steps at the authority
- Send the new passport copy or supporting document.
- Submit the data update at Tasheel and pay.
- MOHRE approves the update.
Tips that save you a trip
- After a passport renewal, update the residence (GDRFA/ICP) record too; MOHRE and immigration data should match.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- Passport data does not match ICP/GDRFA records (update the residence file first).
Questions and answers
Is this needed after every new passport?
Usually yes, so the permit shows the current passport; MOHRE often receives it from the immigration system, staff check first.
