United Arab Emirates ID

The UAE ID is the primary identification document for residents and citizens in the United Arab Emirates. To ensure its authenticity, we (AU10TIX) verify:

  • Known forgeries: Our systems compare documents against a global database of known fraudulent IDs, ensuring accurate detection.
  • Layout: We analyze the specific design of the UAE ID, including card dimensions, spacing, and positioning of elements.
  • Font: We evaluates typography, as counterfeit documents often have inconsistencies in font styles and sizes.
  • Image manipulation: We detect signs of image tampering, ensuring the photograph matches the individual presenting the document.
