In today’s digital age, forgetting your Emirates ID at home is no longer a problem. The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) has rolled out a game-changing feature for Apple users, allowing them to add their Emirates ID to their Apple Wallet. This innovative solution ensures that your crucial residency document is always at your fingertips.

Why Add Your Emirates ID to Apple Wallet?

1. Instant access to your ID details
2. Reduced risk of forgetting your physical card
3. Secure digital storage
4. Ability to add sponsored family members’ IDs

Three Simple Steps to Add Your Emirates ID

Follow these quick and easy steps to digitise your Emirates ID:

1. Download the ‘UAEICP‘ App

Head to the Apple App Store and search for ‘UAEICP’. Download and install the official app.

2. Log in with UAE Pass

Open the UAEICP app and tap ‘Sign in with UAE Pass’. If you haven’t set up your UAE Pass yet, it’s highly recommended. UAE Pass provides a single sign-on for numerous government and private sector services.

3. Add Your Emirates ID

Once logged in:

• Navigate to the ‘Favourites’ section
• Tap on ‘Emirates ID’
• Select your ID
• Look for the ‘Add to Apple Wallet’ option above your ID picture
• Follow the prompts to complete the process

Voila! Your Emirates ID is now securely stored in your Apple Wallet, alongside your credit and debit cards.

Adding Family Members’ IDs

This feature isn’t limited to just your own ID. If you sponsor your spouse or children, you can add their Emirates IDs to your Apple Wallet as well, ensuring the whole family’s documentation is easily accessible.

Verifying Your Digital ID

Each digital Emirates ID in your Apple Wallet comes with a QR code. This code can be scanned for verification through the official ICP website (icp.gov.ae), ensuring the authenticity of your digital ID.

Alternative Digital ID Options

While the Apple Wallet integration is convenient, it’s not the only digital option available. You can also access a digital version of your Emirates ID through:

1. The UAE Pass app
2. The ‘UAEICP’ app

These digital versions are authenticated using the UAE Verify platform, making them secure and reliable for online service applications.

Conclusion

Adding your Emirates ID to your Apple Wallet is a simple yet powerful way to ensure you’re never caught without this essential document. By following these easy steps, you can enjoy the convenience and security of having your Emirates ID – and those of your sponsored family members – always at hand in your digital wallet.
