book.passportindiauae.com
book.passportindiauae.com is the official free appointment website for Indian passport, visa, and document attestation services in the United Arab Emirates.
The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of India in Dubai introduced the portal in July 2026.
It became the main booking channel after BLS International and SGIVS Global stopped providing these consular services on July 1, 2026.
What can you book on book.passportindiauae.com?
The website lets applicants reserve appointments for passport, visa, attestation, and related Indian consular services in the UAE.
You can choose between the Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of India in Dubai.
Your choice should match the office that serves your place of residence and the service you need.
The portal only books your visit.
It does not replace the separate government application form needed for many passport services.
For a fresh passport, renewal, reissue, Police Clearance Certificate, or Emergency Certificate, complete the correct form and gather every required document before visiting.
Passport application forms are available through India’s Global Passport Seva portal, according to the official appointment notice (Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi).
How do you book an appointment?
Open the portal and create an account with your name and email address.
Choose a strong password that you do not use on another website.
Verify your email address and then sign in.
Select the correct mission, service type, date, and available time.
Check every detail before confirming because a wrong service or location may stop the office from processing your request.
Save or print the confirmation after the booking is complete.
New slots have recently been released at 8:00 p.m. for the next working day, although this schedule can change without much notice (Consulate General of India, Dubai).
Applicants should therefore check the latest mission notice instead of assuming that the same release time will continue.
Does the appointment cost money?
Booking an appointment on book.passportindiauae.com is completely free.
The Consulate states that no outside person or company is authorized to sell appointments or collect a booking charge.
You will still need to pay the official fee for the passport, visa, or attestation service itself.
The missions have recently asked applicants to pay applicable service fees in cash and bring the exact amount.
Do not confuse that official service payment with an appointment fee.
The Consulate has also warned that BLS International and SGIVS Global are no longer authorized to provide these services (Consulate General of India’s July 10 notice).
Ignore anyone who promises a faster slot in return for money.
What should you bring to the appointment?
Bring the printed application form, appointment confirmation, photographs, supporting papers, original documents, copies, and the exact cash fee.
Passport applicants should make sure that uploaded signatures or thumbprints are clear and shown against a white background.
The required papers depend on whether the case involves an adult, a child, a newborn, a lost passport, a name change, or an expired document.
For example, a newborn application can require both parents’ passports, visas, marriage record, and the child’s UAE birth certificate.
Both parents may also need to attend when the applicant is a minor (Consulate General of India, Dubai).
Check the official Embassy or Consulate document list shortly before your visit because requirements can change.
What happens when you reach the mission?
A person with a confirmed appointment may enter about 15 minutes before the stated time.
Only the applicant is normally allowed inside.
Both parents can accompany a minor when their presence is required.
Dubai applicants currently enter through Gate No. 1 for passport, visa, and attestation services.
Abu Dhabi applicants use the Embassy’s main gate on Al Safarat Street.
Arriving much earlier will not guarantee early entry and may add to crowding outside the building.
Are walk-in services available?
Dubai is currently not accepting normal walk-in applications, so applicants there should secure an online appointment.
The Embassy in Abu Dhabi has offered limited walk-in service from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Newborn cases and Emergency Certificate requests receive priority during this limited period (Embassy of India passport guidance).
Other applicants should use the portal because a walk-in visit does not guarantee service.
Is book.passportindiauae.com safe to use?
The domain is genuine because both Indian missions publish it as their official appointment portal.
Still, type the address carefully and confirm that the browser shows book.passportindiauae.com before entering personal details.
Do not follow look-alike links sent by agents, unknown WhatsApp accounts, or social media advertisements.
Never share your password, email verification code, passport scan, or appointment confirmation with a stranger offering help.
For official assistance, use the toll-free number 800 46342, WhatsApp number +971 54 309 0571, or email address pbsk.dubai@mea.gov.in.
The portal solves one narrow problem: it gives UAE applicants a direct and free way to reserve a consular visit.
Its value depends on choosing the right service, preparing the correct documents, and avoiding anyone who tries to sell a free appointment.
