Dubai: Indian embassy in UAE should be the first point of contact whenever any Indian loses passport in the middle east country.

While applying for the certificate, details of the old passport have to be provided on the portal.
After filling out the application form, a hard copy of it along with a copy of an old passport or Indian-government issued identity card need to be submitted at BLS International Centre which is an outsourcing agency for the procession of Indian passport and visa applications.
Upon verification by the concerned authorities, an emergency certificate which is also known as an ‘outpass’ will be issued to the Indian.
