So that many countries won’t be having consular offices where the embassies are situated. The UAE consulate in India is the representation of its government dealing with matters of residence in India and UAE that are related to the foreign affairs. UAE consulate is in charge of attestation of various documents and stamps the seal valid in the seven emirates of UAE. Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Al Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain are the seven emirates. Indians who are planning to study, work or reside in the UAE get their certificates or documents related to issuance of passport/visa, birth, death and marriage completely attested by the consulate.
