Consular Services in Al ain ( from ISC Al Ain Web site)

For the past several decades, ISC Al Ain provides consular services to the residents of Al Ain. The service is highly beneficial for people residing in this area, who otherwise have to travel almost 180 km to the capital city to avail such services. The service is offered every Friday from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. A team of Indian embassy officials come to the Centre to provide this valuable services to the Indian community. The fact that the service is offered on Fridays, makes it very useful for people working in the outskirts of the city, who gets only one weekly off day. Since regular passport related services are outsourced by the Indian missions, all over the world, the embassy team visiting every Friday handles only special cases like attestation of important documents.

In addition to the weekly service, regular passport services are available six days of the week through the service provider, BLS, operating in the ISC premises.

Working hours for passport related services offered by BLS are: 8:00 to 1:00 in the morning hours and 4:00 to 5:30 in the evening hours. For enquiries, please contact Mr. Praveen Kumar (tel 055 7040 126).
