UAE implementing smart ID cards for every resident
April 18, 2007

Xpress4me.com: Iris scans will be taken from both eyes of every citizen of the United Arab Emirates as part of security enhancements for a forthcoming national identification card. The card will eventually be required for the 5 million expatriates and citizens in the country and will replace labor, residency and health cards. The cards also will act as an e-gate, ATM card and e-passport when crossing into other Gulf cooperative countries.
