From Emirates ID to movie tickets: 7 UAE cards, passes you can save in phone wallets

Imagine never needing a wallet again—everything you need, from IDs to movie tickets, can be stored on your smartphone in the UAE. Here's a guide to seven essentials you can save in your digital wallet:

Emirates ID

Your Emirates ID is crucial for many transactions, from hospital visits to government services. If you have an iPhone, add it to your Apple Wallet via the UAE ICP app. For Android users, the digital version is viewable, but wallet integration is pending.

Driver's License

Never worry about forgetting your driver's license again. Both iPhone and Samsung users can store their Dubai driver's license in their phone wallets using the RTA app.

Vehicle License

Car owners in Dubai can also store their vehicle license digitally via the RTA app, showing all necessary details, including expiry date and chassis number.

Nol Card

Huawei users can enjoy a digital Nol card for Dubai's Metro and buses if their phone meets specific requirements. Samsung users can access this feature via the Nol Pay app.

Movie Tickets

Easily book and save your movie tickets in your phone wallet with participating cinemas like Vox Cinemas, ensuring a seamless entry.

Boarding Passes

Skip airport queues with digital boarding passes. Emirates and Etihad support saving boarding passes to Apple and Google wallets for a hassle-free travel experience.

Credit and Debit Cards

Digital wallets were initially created for bank cards. You can store your debit or credit cards in Apple, Samsung, or Google wallets for quick, offline access.

By embracing digital wallets, you streamline your daily life and reduce the clutter of physical cards and tickets.
