Dubai or Abu Dhabi: who serves whom

The Consulate General covers six emirates: Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. The emirate of Abu Dhabi, including Al Ain and the Al Dhafra region, is served by the Embassy of Lebanon in Abu Dhabi. For civil status, what counts is where the event took place: a birth, marriage or death in the emirate of Abu Dhabi is registered at the embassy.

Embassy contact details, according to the Dubai Protocol directory: Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum Road, PO Box 4023, Abu Dhabi; phone +971 2 444 4008 or +971 2 449 2100; email abu.dhabi@lbembassy.com. Its website could not be reached on 23 October 2026, so we could not check its opening hours.

Services and fees

Fees in dirhams (AED), recorded on the consulate website on 23 October 2026.

• Lebanese passport: 10-year biometric passport (adult) AED 1,103, 5-year (minor) AED 552. Produced in Beirut by General Security: 6 to 8 weeks by diplomatic bag, 2 to 3 weeks with the paid DHL Fast Track option (US$143.03). Details: Lebanese passport renewal in Dubai. If you hold an old “RL” passport, read our alert on RL passports.
• Laissez-passer (lost or damaged passport, newborn travelling straight to Lebanon): AED 111, 4 working days.
• Civil status: registration of a birth, marriage, divorce or death that took place in the six emirates, free of charge. The consulate sends the file by diplomatic bag to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which passes it to the Ministry of the Interior for registration. You receive the correspondence and bag reference numbers: following it up in Lebanon is your responsibility. A divorce can only be registered three months after the final judgment.
• Death: the consulate prepares the repatriation documents free of charge, on presentation of the death certificate from the UAE Ministry of Health and the deceased’s passport. It also issues a no-objection certificate if the local authorities require one for a burial in the UAE.
• Citizenship by marriage (foreign wife of a Lebanese citizen, one year after the marriage is registered in Lebanon): application at the consulate, AED 184.
• Powers of attorney: only for Lebanese citizens and Palestinians holding a Lebanese travel document who live in the UAE. Special power of attorney AED 184, general AED 368, revocation AED 276, per signature; certified copy of a power of attorney made at the consulate AED 147. A medical certificate is required from age 70. Anyone else goes through a UAE notary, then the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the consulate.
• Certificates: certificate of single status, no-objection to marrying a foreign national, affidavit for a Lebanese driving licence, no-objection to another nationality: AED 221 each. Certificate of life: AED 147, in person.
• Attestations: the consulate attests only two kinds of documents. A Lebanese document already attested by the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: AED 74. A UAE document already attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs: fee by type, for example AED 140 for a birth certificate, AED 221 for a degree certificate, AED 232 for a marriage certificate.
• Visas for Lebanon (foreign nationals living in the UAE): single entry AED 324, two entries AED 460, multiple entries AED 644. Wait time: 4 working days, or 6 to 8 weeks when prior approval from General Security is required (some travel documents). Nationals of Gulf countries do not need a visa.
• Travel documents for Palestinian refugees holding a Lebanese document: issued and renewed at the consulate.

Payment, attendance, minors: the general rules

• Payment: the consulate’s guidelines ask for the exact amount in cash. Most pages add “or by card” next to the fees, but the passport page says fees are paid in cash. Bring the exact amount in cash.
• Complete file: bring every document and its photocopies. Forms are completed online and printed, or filled in on site. Staff will not complete your file for you.
• Receipt: keep the receipt you are given when you apply. You need it to collect.
• In person: an adult collects their own passport, bringing the old passport, which is cancelled. For a minor, either parent can collect it.
• Minors: when applying for a passport, both parents attend, or one of them presents a power of attorney from the other. For a newborn’s laissez-passer, both parents sign in person.

Tracking your application: diplomatic bag or DHL

There is no individual online tracking. For the diplomatic bag, the consulate posts the arrival of each batch of passports on its “Announcements” page, by application date. On 23 October 2026, the latest notice covered applications submitted up to 30 September 2026. Wait until your date is announced before going.

With DHL Fast Track, you register and pay on the DHL platform before applying, and add the printed DHL document (11 pages) to your file. You collect the passport the day after DHL’s confirmation email.

Closures and notices: where to find them

Notices are on the “Updates” (Announcements) page of the website, with a “Closure Days” tab for closing days. The consulate closes on Lebanese and UAE public holidays, and sometimes for practical reasons (road works on 17 July 2026).

From 24 July 2026, because of works, the consulate handled only emergencies and some civil status services; other procedures were redirected to the embassy in Abu Dhabi. All services resumed on 4 September 2026. Before going, especially around a public holiday, check the notices page.
