UAE Pass KYC for the United Arab Emirates.

UAE Pass is the national digital identity of the United Arab Emirates. An individual confirms their identity with UAE Pass, and the confirmation comes from the scheme rather than from a copy of an identity document.

With GovVerify, the result reaches your team with its source and retrieval time recorded, and only with the individual's consent.

How a UAE Pass verification works

  1. Request the check

    Your system starts a verification for the individual through the GovVerify API.

  2. The individual consents

    The individual reviews the request and gives consent with UAE Pass.

  3. The result returns

    Government-confirmed identity, with the source, retrieval time and your reference.

Does the individual have to consent?

Yes. Every GovVerify check runs with the individual's consent, given through the government scheme.

Who can verify with UAE Pass?

Holders of UAE Pass, the federal digital identity for residents of the United Arab Emirates and GCC visitors.

What details does a UAE Pass check return?

The Emirates ID number, name in English and Arabic, nationality and date of birth, once the individual consents.

Can we offer UAE Pass alongside other government ID schemes?

Yes. GovVerify puts iAM Smart, China eID, Singpass and UAE Pass behind one API, one consent flow and one schema, so each customer verifies with the scheme where they live and every result comes back in the same shape.

What should someone do if they receive a request they did not expect?

Contact the organisation that asked them to verify, using contact details they already have. Our help page for individuals explains what the request is.
