UAE PASS API & Digital Identity Integration for Mobile Apps: Technical Guide

# UAE PASS API & Digital Identity Integration for Mobile Apps: Technical Guide

UAE PASS is the national digital identity solution for citizens, residents, and visitors in the United Arab Emirates. Implementing UAE PASS unlocks single sign-on (SSO), verified Emirates ID retrieval, and legal digital document signing (PKCS#7).

Technical OAuth2 / OIDC Authorization Flow

1. Authorization Request: App redirects user to UAE PASS mobile app or web auth screen via OAuth2 PKCE authorization code request.

2. App-to-App Seamless Handshake: On iOS and Android, Universal Links / App Links seamlessly trigger the native UAE PASS app for biometric confirmation.

3. Token Exchange: Backend exchanges authorization code for an access_token and id_token.

4. User Profile Retrieval: Query the /idshub/userinfo endpoint to fetch verified user attributes:

- Full English and Arabic Names

- Emirates ID Number

- Verified Mobile & Email Address

- Residency Status & Passport Info.
