How to prevent misuse of Emirates ID cards
As the Emirates ID card, issued by the Emirates Identity Authority
(Emirates ID), is mandatory for all citizens and expatriates living in
the UAE, everyone in the country carries a PIN (personal
identification number) along with the card.
WHAT IS PIN?
The PIN is a four-digit number issued along with the card. It is one
of the means to access the private data in the card and authenticate
card holders identity.
HOW TO ACTIVATE PIN?
If you have not activated the PIN after receiving the card and PIN, or
it was deactivated accidentally, visit the nearest Emirates ID
registration centre and request the centre supervisor to activate your
PIN.
You have to carry your ID card and you must authenticate yourself to
create the new four-digit PIN.
HOW TO PROTECT PIN?
The Emirates ID advices everyone to change PIN frequently, using the
card-reading program offered by the Emirates ID.
If you enter a wrong PIN thrice at a stretch, the PIN will be
deactivated. Once the card is deactivated, you have to visit the
nearest Emirates ID office or an Emirates ID kiosk to reactivate the
PIN.
THREE FACTOR AUTHENTIFICATION
The Emirates ID card has a three-factor authentication system. The
first one is ID card, second factor is PIN and the third one is your
fingerprint. This three-factor authentication has been set to prevent
identity theft.
IDENTITY THEFT
The identity management providers like Emirates ID, financial
institutions and governments are concerned about identity theft and
fraud.
If someone collects your personal information and he or she can
impersonate you. However, as the Emirates ID card is protected by
three-factor authentication system, identity theft through its system
is ruled out.
IDENTITY FRAUD
Identity fraud is a crime where one person uses another person's
personal data, without authorization, to deceive or defraud someone
else. For example, it is identity fraud to use someone's personal
information to take a credit card without permission, and then
purchase goods and services, using that card.
However, if you have activated your Emirates ID card with PIN, no one
can use the card without the PIN for identify fraud. When someone
tried to access the card data, she or he has to go the three-factor
authentication system the card, PIN, and fingerprint, which is
impossible to crack.
