Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, has made a decision to create a unified registry for the population of Dubai. The objective is to maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date real-time database of Dubai residents. This registry will assist in the formulation of government plans, strategies, and policies grounded in precise data and information.

The registry, named the 'Unified Registry of the Population of the Emirate of Dubai,' will be established on the digital platform of the Dubai Data and Statistics Corporation.
