Indian Embassy Mobile Consular & Attestation Camps in Saudi Arabia: Complete Schedule & Guide 2026

The Embassy of India in Riyadh periodically deploys mobile consular and attestation teams to cities across Saudi Arabia — bringing passport, attestation, and consular services directly to the Indian diaspora. Instead of traveling to Riyadh, you can access these services in your own region.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an appointment?

Most camps are walk-in. Only specialized services (e.g., complex legal cases) may require pre-registration — announced in the tweet.

Can I get my passport renewed at a camp?

Yes. Bring old passport, Iqama, photos, and fee (card/cash as specified).

Is attestation done on the spot?

Yes, for most documents. Complex commercial docs may need Embassy processing in Riyadh.

What if my city isn’t listed?

Camps are scheduled 2–4 weeks ahead. If your region isn’t covered, the nearest major city camp is your best option — or use the Embassy’s postal/courier service for attestation.

How much does it cost?

Fees match Embassy rates (published on passport.gov.in and mea.gov.in). Carry exact cash or card.

Can family members go on my behalf?

Only with authorization letter + copies of your documents. The applicant must appear for biometrics (passport/OCI).
