Emirates ID Integration

Emirates ID, connected to your apps.

EID Connect reads the Emirates ID card and fills your system in under a second: name in English and Arabic, ID number, nationality, date of birth, expiry and photo. Staff stop re-typing, errors disappear and queues move faster. It works with the web apps you already use, with no browser plugins and no per-PC installer headaches.

Built for UAE counters and kiosks

Wherever staff re-type Emirates ID details today

One tap replaces minutes of typing, and the data is right the first time.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does EID Connect verify the card with the government?

EID Connect reads the data stored on the card chip, for capture, auto-fill and onboarding. Online validation against government records, needed for regulated eKYC, is a separate service. Ask us about it.

Which card readers are supported?

Standard PC/SC smart-card and NFC readers that work with Emirates ID. We recommend models and can help you buy them.

Does it work with our existing system?

Yes. Any web application can receive card data, and we integrate with CRMs, hospital, hotel and property-management systems, and ERPs.

Do we need to install anything in the browser?

No. A small Windows service runs on the counter PC, and your web app connects to it directly.

Is Emirates ID data stored?

The service itself stores nothing. Your application decides what to keep, and we help you keep the minimum needed under UAE data-protection law.
