A recent circular issued by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in New Delhi confirms temporary office closure due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
📅 Closure Dates
According to Circular No. 06/2026:
- The embassy will be closed on March 19 and 20, 2026 (Thursday & Friday)
- Office operations will resume on March 23, 2026 (Monday)
Impact on Certificate Attestation
This temporary closure may cause short delays in certificate attestation processing, especially for documents that require:
- Embassy attestation

Since embassy approval is a key step, applications submitted during these dates may be processed after reopening.
What Applicants Should Know

- Expect slight delays in processing timelines
- Courier movement may also be affected during this period
Authorities like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs UAE will continue operations, but embassy-related steps will pause temporarily.
