  1. Brief description of use example (up to 150 words):Entrepreneurs in Dubai need to use government services. Previously, when engaging government services online, entrepreneurs would waste time to create a username and password for each government service and to recall a username and password for a service. The government of Dubai has established MyID, a single sign-on comprising one username and password to access over 600 government services on websites and apps. By using a MyID, entrepreneurs can save time and conveniently access required government services, for instance, to obtain a business licence, obtain a tenancy contract and register company vehicles. An entrepreneur registers for a MyID with his fingerprint, and a physical Emirates ID card with a PIN code to access information on the ID. The person registers at a kiosk or at a computer with a smart card reader. He/she inputs email address, password, mobile phone number and ID number on the registration form.
