The walk in serice to apply for the certificate will be available on April 4, 2026. Students can walk into all BLS centres in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
This is a one-time exception given to students due to the time-sensitive nature of this matter.

The information was shared by the Consulate General of India. The official notice reads, "On Saturday, 4th April 2026, all eligible students can apply for NRI certificates at any BLS centre as walk-ins, without a prior appointment. Students are required to present their 12th-grade document and proof of college admission for securing the appointment."
Officials have advised students to come early, as applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Further, the Consulate will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates when required.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education, UAE, has extended the distance learning process for all nurseries, kindergartens and public and private schools nationwide until April 17, 2026. This decision was taken to priortise safety of children, teachers and others amid US-Iran war conditions.
