UAE Pass: GCC Digital Identity Framework

UAE Pass-Compatible Digital Sealing

Swiss Trust Layer seals your documents using PAdES/CMS-grade cryptographic certificates compatible with the UAE Pass digital identity framework. Every seal is court-admissible across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all GCC jurisdictions, and recognised globally via the WIPO Berne Convention.

Common questions

Is Swiss Trust Layer compatible with UAE Pass?

Yes. Swiss Trust Layer integrates with UAE Pass (UAEICP), the UAE government's national digital identity system operated by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). Documents sealed through Swiss Trust Layer using UAE Pass authentication carry a PAdES/CMS-grade cryptographic certificate that is court-admissible across all GCC jurisdictions.

Is UAE Pass recognised internationally?

UAE Pass is a UAE national identity scheme. The Berne Convention governs copyright, not identity or signatures, so it is not what gives UAE Pass reach. What does travel is the seal itself: a document sealed with UAE Pass authentication through Swiss Trust Layer is issued by Swisscom Trust Services, a QTSP accredited under both Swiss ZertES and EU eIDAS, so it carries qualified status in the UAE, across the 27 EU member states and in Switzerland. Copyright in the underlying work is recognised separately, across the 181 Berne Convention states, without any registration.

How does UAE Pass work for document sealing?

A user authenticates their identity via UAE Pass (mobile app or web), then uploads their document to Swiss Trust Layer. The platform applies a PAdES/CMS cryptographic seal binding the document hash to the verified UAE Pass identity. The process takes under 2 minutes and produces a qualified e-Seal with a timestamp, certificate chain, and public verification URL valid indefinitely at swisstrustlayer.com/verify.
