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.
Backed by the federal government, UAE Pass replaces separate logins across dozens of government platforms with a single verified digital identity tied to your Emirates ID. Its digital signature is legally recognised, so many documents no longer need a physical notary visit.
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.
