Updating Your Mobile Number and Address in ICP: What Residents Should Know
Published 3 months ago
Phone number and address details matter more than many residents realize, especially when services depend on one-time passwords, alerts, delivery messages, or official account access. ICP provides a Data Update service that allows customers to update non-essential data such as phone number and address.
What ICP Says the Service Covers
The ICP service page describes Data Update as a service whereby non-essential data, namely phone number and address, is updated. The page also explains that the service is available through ICP smart channels and requires login through the customer's personal account.
How the Digital Process Works
ICP lists the digital steps as submitting the application through the selected channel, updating the required information, paying the required fees, and then having the data updated automatically in the systems. The service channels include the ICP Smart Services website and the ICP Smart App.
Fees and Access
The published smart service fee is AED 100. ICP also says the service requires login through UAE PASS and notes that the update is made through the customer's personal account rather than broad public service access.
Why Residents Should Keep Details Current
Outdated contact details can complicate identity-linked services, application follow-up, and official communication. Keeping your phone number and address updated helps reduce friction later, especially when another application depends on accurate profile data.
Final Note
Updating contact details is a small task that prevents bigger annoyances later. Use the official ICP account, review the data carefully before payment, and keep your profile current if your mobile number or address changes.
