Dubai has made it to the list of the world’s best-performing digital governments with a “Very High” rating in the Local Online Service Index (LOSI) 2022 issued by the United Nations as part of its bi-annual E-Government Survey. Dubai was ranked fifth globally and first in the Arab World in the Index.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Government announced that it will use biometric face recognition (Facial ID) to register customers in the "UAE Pass" application, the first national digital identity and signature solution that enables users to identify themselves to government service providers in all emirates through a smartphone-based authentication.
