Interesting article from Gulf News!!!

"A passport is a personal document that proves the identity of the holder, and the laws stipulate that the bearer must keep his or her passport and present it to the authorities concerned upon their request," Sheikh Saif said in the circular dated December 25, 2002.

"The only party allowed to hold the passport is the judicial authorities concerned or in cases specified by the law. Therefore, keeping the passport of any resident in the UAE by any other party without a court ruling is a violation of the law."
