Several visitors completed document or degree attestation in about 45 minutes, with clear steps between counters.
Families may be moved through passport renewal faster; one visitor completed the process in about 90 minutes with family prioritisation.
Some visitors found reception and passport staff supportive, with clear directions and accurate process guidance.
For passport renewal, one detailed review reported that token numbers were followed strictly from payment through biometrics.
An affidavit visitor was directed to the correct booth and reported a smooth process after the initial guidance.
Despite broader complaints, some visitors specifically described staff as cooperative and service as fast.
Bring Copies. For passport renewal, bring originals plus copies; one review recommends one passport copy and front-and-back NIC or NICOP copies.
Arrive Early. Arrive before the busiest period if possible: a visitor arriving at 6:00 AM received queue number 72 and finished in about 90 minutes.
Take Token. Collect the passport token at the gate or front desk, then wait for your number rather than joining every counter line.
Allow Time. Reserve several hours for a passport visit: one visitor received a token at 12:15 PM and was called around 2:35 PM.
Check Documents. For degree attestation, bring the original degree, passport, Emirates ID and CNIC copies, plus the required university, HEC and MOFA attestations.
Plan Parking. Parking can be difficult during the day, so allow extra time; one visa applicant parked nearly one kilometre away.

The Bottom Line
The Consulate General of Pakistan in Umm Hurair One - Umm Hurair 1 handles practical consular work including passport renewal, NADRA-related services, visa applications, affidavits and document attestation. Attestation is the clearest bright spot in the reviews: an FRC was completed in about 45 minutes, while a master’s degree attestation also took roughly 45 minutes when the paperwork was ready. Passport renewal is more variable.
The token system is described as first-come, first-served, with the same number used through payment and biometrics, but the wait can still stretch from a couple of hours to most of a day. Families may receive faster handling, and bringing copies from home can save another queue. The main caution is the physical visit itself.
Reviews repeatedly mention an undersized, congested waiting area, limited seating, weak air conditioning, poor washroom conditions and difficult parking. Phone support is also widely criticised for unanswered calls and endless holds. Bring originals and photocopies, arrive early if you need passport work, collect a token promptly and set aside plenty of time.
Reported charges include AED 60 for FRC attestation and AED 40 for a master’s degree attestation, but these are customer-reported amounts rather than a current fee schedule.
