The small Emirates ID card you carry might soon be replaced by a new digital system. Instead of showing your card, you will use your face to prove who you are.
The UAE government is working on this new system to make life easier and faster for everyone.
How Will It Work?
-
You will use an app called UAEPASS on your phone.
-
When you need to prove your identity, you just look at the phone camera. The app will check your face and confirm who you are.
-
This will work for many things like going to the hospital, checking into hotels, or opening a bank account.
What Has Happened So Far?
The UAE started using face recognition technology in 2021 for some services. Now, they want to use it everywhere.
The government is asking banks, hospitals, and other places to start using this new system soon.
Is My Information Safe?
Yes! The government says they will keep your personal information safe and follow strict privacy rules. Your data will be protected with strong security.
What Should You Do?
If you don’t have the UAEPASS app yet, it’s a good time to download it. Soon, you might not need your physical Emirates ID card anymore.
Why Is This Important?
This new system will save time, stop fake IDs, and help the UAE be one of the most advanced countries in the world.
The future of showing your ID is changing — and it will be much easier and safer!
