Must-Have UAE Government Apps for Residents Across All Seven Emirates

As the UAE Government continues its mission to go 100 per cent paperless, accessing various services has become easier than ever.

Whether you're paying fines or renewing your residency permit, you can now complete most transactions online without the need to visit a government office.

Essential Government Apps

UAE Pass: UAE Pass is your digital identity key to all UAE government apps. It allows you to log into various apps without separate registrations and lets you sign documents digitally.

UAE ICP App: The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) offers services related to residency, visas, and Emirates ID through this app.

You can access digital versions of your residence visa and Emirates ID, including those of your dependents, and save them in your Apple Wallet if you use an iPhone. The app also facilitates visa and ID renewals and fine payments.

Ministry of Interior (MoI) App: The MoI app serves all police forces across the Emirates. It syncs your records, including Emirates ID and vehicle licence, and allows you to report accidents, pay fines, and renew vehicle registration. The services are categorised into traffic, police, civil defence, and general.
