With the Emirates ID in your Apple Wallet, you no longer have to fumble around for a physical card. It’s easy and efficient, allowing for immediate verification when required.

2. Access Through the UAE Pass App (Available on All Devices)

UAE Pass is an innovative national digital identity system that simplifies the process of logging into numerous government platforms, enabling you to access thousands of online services seamlessly.

To view your Emirates ID on the UAE Pass app, follow these steps:

  • First, download the UAE Pass app from your device’s app store, whether you’re using an Apple or Android device.

3. Use the UAEICP App (Available on Apple and Android)

The UAEICP app takes digital access a step further. With this application, users can view and download a digital copy of their Emirates ID at any time.

  • Begin by downloading and opening the ‘UAEICP’ app on your device, be it an iPhone or an Android phone.

  • Log in using your UAE Pass account—this links you directly to your official identification.

  • Select ‘Emirates ID’ from the homepage for a comprehensive view of your identification.

  • Tap on your name to access your digital Emirates ID; a smartly designed interface will display the necessary details.

  • If you prefer offline access, you also have the option to download a secure PDF version of your Emirates ID.

This app ensures that a secure and accessible copy of your Emirates ID is always within reach, even when you’re offline!

4. Generate a QR Code for Temporary Emirates ID Access

What if your Emirates ID is expired or in the process of being renewed? In such cases, the UAEICP app offers a clever solution: generating a Quick Response (QR) code to provide temporary access for verification during transactions or governmental services.

To generate your QR code, follow these simple steps:

  • Open the UAEICP app and tap the ‘Emirates ID QR Code’ option on the home screen.

  • Choose your preferred verification method:

    By mobile number: Enter your Emirates ID or unified number.

    By personal information: Fill out your nationality, passport type, passport number, date of birth, and sponsor number (enter ‘0’ if you have no dependents).

  • Submit your information to generate the QR code.

  • The system will produce a QR code containing your Emirates ID details, which is valuable for quick validations.

  • You will see your Emirates ID number, unified number, and expiry date displayed below the QR code, ensuring you have all necessary information on hand.

This QR code can be scanned by government departments or organizations needing to verify your Emirates ID, serving as a practical temporary solution while waiting for your physical card.
