How do I set up UAE PASS?

By JJay Ellis ·Checked against official sources· Updated October 2026Follow @getsetl.ae

Follow the app’s prompts to scan your Emirates ID, confirm your details and verify your mobile number and email using the codes sent to you. Create your login PIN, then complete identity verification using facial recognition. If verification cannot be completed through the app, follow the official guidance for verification at a UAE PASS kiosk.

If your Emirates ID is still pending, UAE PASS also supports visitor registration using a passport or GCC ID. You can link your Emirates ID to your existing visitor account once it becomes available. However, a visitor or basic account does not automatically give you access to services that require verified resident details.

Keep control of your account: enter verification codes yourself, keep your PIN private and only approve login or signing requests you recognise. If you already have an account, use the recovery process rather than creating another one.

With your digital identity ready, your home setup becomes easier to manage.
