According to Article 6, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Passports, a new passport shall have the same term of validity as the previous passport. Pursuant to Article 18 of the Regulation on Icelandic Passports, those who have twice or more often lost their passport can expect their passport to have a term of validity of 2 years or less while the lost passports are still valid.

Icelandic law allows dual citizenship, and those who acquire citizenship in another state that also allows dual citizenship will keep their Icelandic citizenship and passport.
However, persons who wish to acquire citizenship in a state that does not allow dual citizenship must request to be freed from Icelandic citizenship, at which point the passport becomes invalid and must be returned.
