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.

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.

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.
