UAE Government API Integration Services
From UAE Pass single sign-on to MOHRE labour contracts, Ejari registrations, DED licensing, and RERA compliance — we connect you with engineers who've shipped against every major UAE government API.
Every government touchpoint your business needs.
Identity, licensing, labour, property, utilities, customs — connect them all to your stack without the months of bureaucracy.
UAE Pass integration
Single sign-on, e-signature, and identity verification via the federal SmartPass platform.
Emirates ID verification
Read, validate, and verify Emirates ID cards via NFC, OCR, or smart card readers.
MOHRE integration
Labour contracts, work permits, visa cancellations, and salary disbursement via MOHRE APIs.
WPS integration
Wage Protection System compliance — payroll file generation, bank submission, status tracking.
DED integration
Trade licence lookups, instant licensing, and renewal automation across DED platforms.
Ejari integration
Tenancy contract registration with Dubai's Ejari system — auto-population, validation, status.
RERA compliance systems
Trakheesi permits, broker registrations, escrow validation, and DLD compliance flows.
Dubai Municipality APIs
Food permits, building approvals, contracting permits, and inspection workflows.
Dubai Trade integration
Customs declarations, eMirsal, manifest submission, and clearance status APIs.
Four steps to a live government integration.
Government API work has its own choreography — sandbox access, security review, NDA cycles. We've run it dozens of times.
We help you secure sandbox credentials and complete the authority's onboarding paperwork — often the longest part of any government project.
Engineering against the test environment, with detailed logging and replay tooling for the inevitable spec ambiguities.
Penetration testing, security review submission to the authority, and user acceptance testing with your operations team.
Live credentials, progressive rollout (1% → 10% → 100%), monitoring dashboards, and 30-day hyper-care.
The hidden complexity of UAE government APIs
Every UAE government API has its own personality. UAE Pass is well-documented and modern. MOHRE is functional but bureaucratic. Ejari is reliable but old-school. RERA has multiple sub-systems that don't talk to each other. Dubai Trade is enterprise-grade but unforgiving.
The technical work is rarely the bottleneck. The friction lives in three places:
Getting sandbox access
For most government APIs, you can't just sign up. You need to be a registered UAE entity (often with specific licence types), submit a use-case document, sometimes provide a security architecture diagram, and wait for review. This process can take 2–8 weeks depending on the authority. Starting this in parallel with technical scoping is critical to hitting any deadline.
The security review
Authorities like MOHRE, DED, and RERA require a security review of your application before granting production credentials. This typically includes penetration testing reports, data flow diagrams, encryption-at-rest documentation, and (for cloud deployments) proof of data residency in UAE. Many in-house teams are caught off-guard by this — by the time they fix the findings, the deadline has moved.
The undocumented behaviour
Every government API has quirks that aren't in the docs. UAE Pass's mobile app deep-linking is more reliable than the web flow for certain scenarios. MOHRE's contract endpoint silently truncates Arabic names at certain character counts. Ejari's date format changes between sub-endpoints. These aren't bugs — they're institutional knowledge, and you only get it by having shipped against the API before.
We work with engineers who've shipped at least 5–10 government integrations each. They know which authorities reply to support tickets in days versus weeks, which APIs require IP allowlisting, and which sandbox environments are perpetually broken (and how to test around them).
If you're integrating with three or more authorities, you'll save 4–6 weeks just by working with someone who's done it before.
