Consulate General of Russia

The Consulate General serves Russian citizens in Dubai and the northern emirates and offers a full range of consular services: issuing and replacing international passports (including biometric ones), notarial actions (powers of attorney, consents for a child's travel abroad, certification of copies and signatures), civil registry functions (registration of births and marriages, requesting documents), as well as emergency assistance in case of lost documents or critical situations. Reception is strictly by prior appointment through the official electronic queue system: as a rule, one appointment is issued per visitor and per service, so for a family or several matters you need to reserve separate slots.

When planning a visit to the consulate, check the list and completeness of documents in advance on the official website, as requirements depend on the specific service; you usually need a valid internal and/or international passport, and for matters involving children and family affairs, birth and marriage certificates. The institution is located in the Al Safa area near Sheikh Zayed Road, operates on weekdays, and is closed on weekends and Russian public holidays. Slots in the electronic queue fill up quickly, so it is better to book in advance, and check the current schedule and exact fees on the official website rather than relying on intermediary services.
