The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has called on the public to take the initiative to download its electronic application “UAE Fast Track”, which facilitates entry procedures for those arriving in the country speedily.
The authority stated in a video clip that the “UAE Fast Track” application allows the public, through pre-registration, to complete travel procedures in a matter of seconds without the need to wait at registration counters, by using smart gates.
It pointed out that the application can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play, following which the user can enter all the required details related to their trip to complete the application submission.
The application offers many advanced features, including capturing the user’s fingerprints using the mobile phone camera, among other services. According to the instructions provided in the application, the user must, at the beginning of using the application, specify the route of entry into the country, whether through maritime, air or land ports.
This should be followed by specifying the name of the port through which they will enter the country and the date of arrival. After that, the user proceeds to the document scanning process using the smartphone camera, which requires the person to place the entire document page appropriately in front of the mobile device’s camera to capture all the data correctly.
Upon completing the previous step, the application moves the user to the step of capturing a face image using the smartphone camera, followed by capturing fingerprints using the smartphone camera.
This stage requires the person to place the fingers of the right hand simultaneously in front of the camera in an appropriate manner and wait a little while the fingerprints are captured with the best possible quality, followed by the fingers of the left hand.
After that, necessary data is entered to complete the application, including email address, mobile phone number, address within the country and profession.
