UAE Trust Services Regulatory Framework sets the ground for Qualified Trust Services provided by QTSPs outside UAE to be recognized if they are on a comparable level to the service provided by UAE licensed QTSPs.

This consists in a unilateral provision allowing for TDRA to establish the recognition of a foreign QTSP providing QTS in its own territory, country or legal framework on the basis of an assessment aiming to determine whether the foreign QTSP/QTS are of a comparable level of quality / security and are subject to essentially comparable legal, supervisory, and technical requirements compared to those applicable to QTSP established in the UAE and providing QTS defined in [Law (46) 2023].

TDRA, as the supervisory body, and in line with the regulatory framework provisions will enter in mutual recognition negotiations with other countries or group of countries aiming to conclude an agreement for a mutual recognition of QTSP/QTS.
