General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has introduced the "Dubai e-Documents System," a digital encyclopedia of all travel documents for different countries, supported by samples of original documents.

 

Major General Obaid Muhair bin Suroor, Deputy Director of the GDRFA, said the project aims to enhance the country’s security and achieve the Dubai government’s digital transformation.

 

Bin Suroor pointed out that the e-system was independent of the GDRFA and similar to systems such as EdisonTD, which includes the membership of the UAE, the Netherlands, Canada, the US and Australia.

 

The system is a smart mechanism for confirming travel documents and detecting fraudulent documents, he stated.

 

According to him, the new system will improve the country’s security and digital infrastructure, and also strengthen the local and international reputation of the UAE. 

 

The GDRFA is continuing its efforts to adopt the best innovative solutions to improve its work and reinforce the country’s position, he added.
