PCFC Login Guide: Tasreeh, Dubai Trade and UAE PASS

There isn’t one single PCFC login. The right sign in depends on what you need. For gate passes to Jebel Ali Port or Jafza, you use a Tasreeh account from PCFC Security. For customs declarations, you use the Dubai Trade portal, with a username and password or a linked UAE PASS. The PCFC website at pcfc.ae brings these services together as the corporation’s unified portal.

I write about logistics and free zone services in Dubai, and the PCFC login is a question that confuses newcomers every week. People search for one login and land on three different systems. This guide shows which one you need, the steps for each, and what to do when a sign in fails.

What PCFC Is and Why Its Login Confuses People

The Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, known as PCFC, is a Government of Dubai corporation. Its unified website, launched in 2022, brings together business units such as Dubai Customs, Jafza, Trakhees, the Dubai Maritime City Authority, and the Dubai Ports Authority.

Each unit runs its own services and systems. So a PCFC login can mean a gate pass account, a customs account, or a free zone account. That’s why searching for the term gives mixed results.

Choosing the Right PCFC Login

Ask what you’re trying to do. If you need to enter a port or free zone, you need a gate pass, which runs through Tasreeh. If you’re clearing goods or signing customs declarations, you need Dubai Trade. If you only want general information or to find a service, start at the PCFC website.

Visitors who aren’t staff or registered company users usually need a pass before they enter. Companies, customs brokers, and shipping agents more often need Dubai Trade. Many businesses use both.

PCFC Login for Gate Passes Through Tasreeh

Tasreeh is PCFC Security’s online gate pass system. Jafza’s gate pass guide says you create an account at tasreeh.ae. Once the company you’re visiting accepts your request, the gate pass is issued and emailed to you. For a one time visit, the host company can also arrange a day pass for you.

Jafza lists several pass types. These include temporary passes for up to a week, a month, or six months, permanent passes renewable for a year, tools and equipment passes, photography and video passes, and marine passes issued by registered agents.The system is busy. Gulf Today reported that PCFC Security issued 800,000 passes in the first quarter of 2024 for areas such as Jebel Ali Port, Jafza, Rashid Port, and Dubai Maritime City.

Using the Tasreeh App for Your PCFC Login

There’s also a Tasreeh app. Its App Store listing describes it as the automated gate pass service from the PCFC Security Department, so you can apply and manage passes 24 hours a day. Download it only from your phone’s official store.

A word of caution. Some users in the store reviews say the same details that work on the website fail in the app, or that fingerprint sign in doesn’t show their passes. If that happens, sign in on the website first and check that your account is active.

PCFC Login for Customs on Dubai Trade

Dubai Trade is the portal for customs and trade services. A 2016 release described it as a single window that integrates DP World, Jafza, and Dubai Customs. You need an active Dubai Trade user account to reach its protected services.

Dubai Customs issued Notice 10 of 2026, which took effect on 10 May 2026. It says customers may log in to Dubai Trade with a username and password, or through UAE PASS once it’s linked to their account.

Linking UAE PASS to Your Dubai Trade Account

The notice sets out the steps. You link your UAE PASS the first time you log in with it successfully. The portal shows guided steps to complete the link.

UAE PASS access is for authorized persons only. These are people legally allowed to act and sign for the company. They use it for services that need a digital signature, including customs declarations and refund claims. The notice also says the existing digital certificate method continues in parallel, so you can choose whichever you prefer.Companies have two jobs here. First, make sure the Emirates ID of each authorized person is correct in customs registration, because Emirates ID verification is needed for these services. Second, review authorizations regularly, especially when someone leaves. The notice says Dubai Customs and Dubai Trade don’t manage those permissions for you.

What to Prepare Before Your PCFC Login

For Tasreeh, have your Emirates ID or passport details, your email, and the name of the host company ready. For Dubai Trade, you need an active user account, and for UAE PASS you need a verified UAE PASS and a correct Emirates ID on file.

If you pay fees by card, a good rewards card can give some value back. Dubai Guided’s guide to the best credit cards for points and travel shows how to compare options.

Which PCFC Login Fits Your Situation

A few quick examples help. A client visiting a Jafza company for a meeting needs a Tasreeh pass requested through the host. A contractor bringing tools into a free zone needs a tools and equipment pass, so the Tasreeh route applies again. A photographer shooting on site needs the photography pass, also through Tasreeh.

A company director who signs customs declarations needs Dubai Trade, and now has the option of UAE PASS. A clearing agent handling daily shipments also works in Dubai Trade. If you’re unsure, ask your company’s operations team which PCFC login your role already uses.

Managing PCFC Login Access Across a Team

Companies often lose track of who holds which access. Keep a simple record of each person’s PCFC login, the system it belongs to, and who approved it. Don’t share one account between several staff, because you can’t tell who did what.

When an employee leaves, remove their access at once. Dubai Customs’ notice puts this duty on the company, not on the authorities. A quarterly check of your PCFC login list takes ten minutes and prevents bigger headaches later.

Fixing PCFC Login Problems

Start with the portal itself. Check you’re on the right system. A Tasreeh account won’t open Dubai Trade, and the reverse is also true. Check your username and capital letters, and use the Forgot Password option if the portal offers it.

Try another browser, clear your cache, and make sure your email inbox is working. Check spam for approval emails. For Dubai Trade with UAE PASS, check that your UAE PASS is up to date and linked to the right account.If a pass request stalls, the host company may not have approved it yet. Contact them first. If you still can’t get in, contact support using the details below.

Contacting PCFC Support

PCFC Security circulars list the email info@pcfc.ae and the contact centre number 800990 for support and queries. You can see them in this PCFC Security circular. Details can change, so confirm them on the PCFC website. For customs and UAE PASS questions, the notice names Dubai Trade as the body that responds to inquiries.Give your portal name, the exact error, and a screenshot. Never send your password.

Staying Safe With Your PCFC Login

Use the portal addresses from official PCFC, Jafza, or Dubai Trade pages. Private how to guides can be incomplete or out of date, so double check any step against an official source. Never share your username, password, or UAE PASS PIN, even with a broker who says they’ll rush your pass.

Don’t pay anyone who promises a faster gate pass outside the official system. Keep your login details private, and sign out on shared computers.
