The Emirati passport is issued to citizens of the United Arab Emirates for international travel. The UAE also issues temporary passports, which can be used by non-citizens. However this cannot be used to claim right of abode in the UAE. The UAE Ministry of Interior began to issue biometric passports on December 11, 2011, making it the second GCC state to launch the biometric passports after Qatar.〔http://www.abudhabi.ae/egovPoolPortal_WAR/appmanager/ADeGP/Citizen?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=p_citizen_en_homepage_hidenav&did=311936&lang=en〕 Prior to the formation of the UAE in 1971, the constituting states were responsible for issuing their own passports or travel documents.〔http://www.uaehistory.com/en/photos/279〕 Such documents were printed in Arabic and English and often made a reference to Great Britain, which occupied the area at the time.〔https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/british-embassy-abu-dhabi〕 The issue fee of an Emirati passport is one of the lowest in the world, with a cost of only 40 AED ($10.90 USD) ==Physical Characteristics== The first and last pages are made of hard paper thicker than that of the old passport — a measure that allows it to remain in good shape until the passport expires. The first page contains a watercolour outline of the outer frame of Shaikh Zayed Mosque and the last page contains a drawing of the actual mosque with domes and columns. The passport identity page has all the particulars printed and laminated, unlike other countries, which might have all the information written by hand. The new passports contain data to resolve name duplication, which is one of the biggest issues that existed with old passports. The ICAO gives all countries until 2014 to issue the electronic passports. The UAE is the second country after Qatar to issue the electronic passport with more sophisticated technology. "All international airports have been informed of the new passports so that UAE nationals can start using their new passports in their travel abroad.〔http://dnrd.ae/ar/Services/ServicesGuide/Pages/AudianceService.aspx?AudianceId=1&ServiceId=10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emirati passport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
