GITEX - Why UAE Pass is a must-have app?

This week at GITEX Global, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) is showcasing its latest smart systems, including the updated UAE Pass app. The self-guidance awareness service on the ministry’s app can be accessed with the UAE Pass, enabling workers to complete the awareness programme in 16 languages and watch a 20-minute video on their rights and responsibilities, as well as the social norms and traditions followed in the society.

UAE Pass, the secure national digital identity for citizens and residents, offers access to more than 6,000 government, semi-government and private sector entities’ services through one application.

The UAE Pass app enables users to identify themselves to government service providers in all the emirates through a smartphone-based authentication. Entities are increasingly integrating with the UAE Pass to offer seamless access to their platforms and services.

Last month, Digital Dubai collaborated with Dubai Police to add a new service to the Vehicles and Security Services section of its DubaiNow app allowing users to report minor accidents easily through the app. An individual will then receive a Dubai Police report by email or text message, by following a simple, easy, and quick procedure. Users can log in with UAE Pass onto the DubaiNow app, which will automatically determine their geographic location. They can then enter the vehicle details and number, along with the cause of the accident and an image of the damage caused by the accident.

Logging and registration to the UAE Pass app is by using Emirates ID or biometric facial recognition.

Without needing multiple usernames and memorising passwords, people can log into various websites and apps, and sign official documents and transactions.
