The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has announced the launch of the "UAE Verify" platform, which allows government and private entities to verify the authenticity of digital documents issued by government authorities on an immediate basis and without the need for original hard copy or true copy.
The "UAE Verify" platform uses blockchain technology, which is a shared immutable real-time ledger for recording the history of financial transactions, contracts, and different documents.
Blockchain technology helps in regulating data and digital documents, verifying their authenticity, sharing information and documents, and protecting privacy.
The platform allows users to convert their documents to authenticated digital documents with a high level of privacy and security.
In his speech at the launch event, Eng Majed Sultan Al Mesmar, Director General of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, said, "With the launch of the "UAE Verify" platform, we take a new important step on the path of comprehensive digital transformation using future technologies such as blockchain, which is the technical basis for the "UAE Verify" platform.
