The Al Hosn app

Al Hosn is the UAE’s official app for contact tracing and health status related to COVID-19. A Hosn app has features to help protect your health. Download or update the app to see your status (green, grey or red) based on your most recent RT-PCR test and vaccination status, as well as vaccination information and certificate, any travel testing and a live QR code.

Al Hosn is the UAE’s official app for contact tracing and health status related to COVID-19. On the Al Hosn app, you will be able to receive:

  • COVID-19 test results and a record of all previous COVID-19 results with their dates
  • a notification if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19
  • vaccination information, including the type of vaccine you have taken and the date of dose given.

The app also facilitates sharing test reports and vaccination certificates.

 

How it works

Al Hosn generates a unique personal QR code, following a three colour-coding system: grey, green or red on the completion of your vaccination and validity of your RT-PCR test result. Find details here.

Benefits

  • Al Hosn’s colour coding system helps authorities to identify the health status of individuals and permit them to go to public spaces and workplaces.
  • Parents and guardians can add their family members and access the test results of their dependents.

 

How to install

The app is currently available in Arabic, English and Hindi. You can download it from the App Store, Google Play, Huawei App Gallery, and Galaxy Store for free.

 

Register and authenticate by entering your Emirates ID or Unified ID and mobile number followed by the OTP sent to your phone.

 

An internet connection is required when you first install the Al Hosn app. However, since the app is whitelisted by the telecom operators in the UAE, the data you use will not be counted against your quota.

 

If you do not have a smart phone, you can use the Al Hosn web application with your web browser to log in and check your status.

 

Note:

  • The Al Hosn app stores your personal information in an encrypted format. When the app communicates with other phones, your personal details are anonymised.
  • It is mandatory to turn on Bluetooth and push notifications on your smartphone.

 

Call 800 HOSN (4676) if you face an issue in installing or using the Al Hosn app.
