Requirements:

• Passport copy with residency stamp (passport must be valid for 6 months)
• Two passport photos
• A completed form you can find at the post office.
• Private post boxes are situated at all post offices, shelters, a number of commercial buildings and some postal agencies.
• You can also rent a P. O. Box online, but you have more location options if you go to the post office.

Subscription Fee:

New P.O. Box Dhs 50

For new tenants, the year is divided into thirds, for the first year only, as follows:
