GEC NEWS WIRE28,800 users are registered for single sign-on to Dubai government services in collaboration with the Emirates ID card
Dubai Municipality has joined Dubai Smart Government’s MyID service for single sign-on to Dubai government services in collaboration with the Emirates ID card issued by the Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA).
Dubai Municipality joining the My ID service comes as part of the executive steps taken by Dubai government entities to implement the initiative of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to shift to smart government. It also follows the directives of HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, to provide a single PIN to each customer in line with his “Dubai Government Towards 2021” initiative, enabling customers to have a single sign-on to all government services and interact with them on smartphones or via the Internet.
According to H.E. Ahmad Bin Humaidan, Director General of Dubai Smart Government, Dubai Smart Government strives to provide the infrastructure and shared services to enable the government entities to give the public smooth access to their services round the clock wherever they are, thereby contributing effectively to Dubai becoming the world’s smartest city. He added, “Due to the overwhelming response from the public and the many calls that we received to inquire about the service and the best way to benefit from it, and based on our keenness on providing a 5-star service, we responded to their requests and are constantly seeking to add new government entities that are considerably associated with the transactions of the public and are of concern to customers.”
The website (www.myid.dubai.gov.ae) allows all customers of Dubai government entities participating in the service to register in MyID and leverage various features from the unified login to all Dubai Government’s electronic and smart services, with enhanced confidence and security. According to the latest statistics announced by DSG, as many as 28,800 users have so far registered in MyID.
