The UAE government is bringing Avalanche blockchain tech into its national digital ID system, UAE PASS. According to the announcement, Avalanche will power a secure digital vault to authenticate official documents and protect them from tampering. The Avalanche team shared the news about the integration of Avalanche with UAE PASS on X.

What happened

This move puts Avalanche at the core of a new initiative for safely storing and verifying official documents. The goal: make sure digital records are provably authentic and can't be altered after the fact.

Why it matters

Using blockchain for the digital vault helps crack down on forged documents and makes verification with online services a breeze. For users, it means easier, more secure access to services that need ID verification or document signing.

What is UAE PASS?

UAE PASS is the country’s national digital identity platform, covering over 12 million people. With it, citizens, residents, and even visitors can prove who they are, sign documents, and access thousands of government and private sector services.
