Replacing a passport held at the police station

Hi Sir,

I m Edwin,

I am working on a construction site. 3 months before, an accident happened on my construction site and regarding this accident issue, my passport was held by Dubai police.

But the injured person is good, and the doctor certificate also clearly mentions that the person is good, but till now the police did not release my passport from the police station.

Next month is my marriage, so is it possible to replace the passport with another one or not?

Please give your suggestion about this.

Dear Edwin,

Yes, the passport can be replaced by any other person’s passport and once you come back after marriage, you have to hand over your passport again.

However, considering the reason for leaving, we can make an application on that ground and the police may hand over the passport to you without asking for a replacement.

For more info, please contact jana@alketbilaw.com or 056 1060369

Kind regards

Thank you for your quick reply/response.

For this, how many days will it take for the replacement process?
