A remote User Interface (UI) providing apparatus and method are provided. To this end, a remote UI server generates a profile ID of a remote UI client, and the remote UI client requests and provides a UI by using the generated profile ID. The remote UI server provides generation information for UI generation to the remote UI client, and the remote UI client generates a UI suitable for the remote UI client by using the provided generation information. Thus, the amount of data processed in the remote UI client or the remote UI server and overhead between the remote UI client and the remote UI server are reduced, thereby quickly providing an apparatus-suitable UI.
