Commenting on the launch of the service, Laila Obaid Al Suwaidi, Acting Director General of the Human Resources Authority of the Federal Government, explained that all ministries and federal government entities can now start implementing e-signature functionality in all procedures at Bayanati – Human Resource Information for the Federal Government management system.

She said the new system redirects users to the UAE Pass app, allowing them to sign any relevant documents while ensuring the highest level of data and privacy protection.

Al Suwaidi called on all stakeholders and employees of federal government entities to take advantage of this new feature and activate their UAE Pass to facilitate such procedures.

She noted that the project reflects the authorities’ keenness to develop the federal government’s work ecosystem and streamline procedures in line with the directives of the UAE leadership to digitize government services and adopt smart systems.

She also thanked the efforts of strategic partners who helped make the project a success, including the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), the Dubai Digital Authority, and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security.
