Quick Answer
UAE Pass is the country's national digital identity and signature app. It lets residents and companies log in to government services, sign documents digitally, and retrieve official documents across federal and Dubai portals — increasingly the default login for business-setup, tax, and PRO transactions.
UAE Pass replaces separate logins across government platforms with a single digital identity. Citizens and residents register and verify it with their Emirates ID; visitors can use a passport (TDRA, uaepass.ae). TDRA lists digital signatures among its features: "Utilise UAE Pass for digital signing or verification of documents, and to complete official transactions." Registering, verifying, kiosks and account levels are in our UAE PASS guide.
For companies, UAE Pass is now the entry point to portals such as EmaraTax (FTA), MOHRE, GDRFA, and DET services. A company signatory typically needs an active UAE Pass to authorise online submissions — a step ZETUP sets up as part of onboarding.
