In an era where daily transactions are carried out on smartphones more than in offices, the question is no longer “Do we need a digital identity?” but rather: “To what extent can this identity be trusted and recognized legally?”

Digital Signatures in the UAE: Full Legal Authority

According to the Federal Decree-Law on Electronic Transactions and Trust Services, digital signatures in the United Arab Emirates are legally recognized, equivalent to handwritten signatures. This means that contracts and agreements signed digitally through certified platforms such as UAE PASS carry the same binding legal force in courts and institutions.

The key advantage of UAE PASS lies not only in enabling secure logins but also in providing a Binding Digital Signature, ensuring complete trust in both identity and transaction validity.

UAE PASS: The Gateway to the Digital Citizen

Today, most major UAE government entities — including Fujairah Digital Government — rely on UAE PASS as the main entry point for their online services.
From renewing licenses to paying fines, users can complete their transactions entirely without paper or physical visits, simply by using the digital identity app.

This not only simplifies everyday life for citizens but also saves institutions enormous time in verification and documentation processes.

Nafath in Saudi Arabia: Unified Access to Thousands of Services

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Nafath plays a similar role by offering a single sign-on to hundreds of government and private platforms.
Nafath provides a secure and trusted interface that allows citizens and residents to access more than 700 digital services with a single set of credentials, strengthening cybersecurity and eliminating account duplication or weak authentication risks.

The Infrastructure of Digital Trust

When we look at UAE PASS and Nafath together, it becomes clear that both systems form the backbone of any integrated digital journey:

• A citizen logs in with a single step.
  
  

• Signs a binding contract without paper.
  
  

• Receives the service in minutes instead of weeks.
  
  

This is more than a user experience upgrade, it is a strategic transformation in how governments and businesses operate.
