What is a CICPA Pass?
A CICPA pass is the security clearance needed for any individual, company, vehicles, or vessels to enter the areas of critical infrastructure in Abu Dhabi. The sectors are those of oil and gas, energy, transport, among others. Workers should be registered with this security permit to access the restricted zones to allow them to be safe and facilitate these critical industries.
Who Needs a CICPA Pass Registration?
A CICPA security pass is mandatory for personnel and entities working in or accessing critical national infrastructure areas. These include:
Oil and Gas Facilities (e.g., ADNOC refineries, oil rigs)
Power Plants and Energy Sectors
Maritime Industries (ports, ships, and offshore operations)
Aviation and Airlines
Water and Health Infrastructure
Finance, Transport, and Communications
Government Services and Food Supply Chains
Companies in critical sectors like transport, aviation, and oil and gas are especially likely to need CICPA registration. Additionally, temporary permits may be granted under special conditions, such as short-term contracts.
Why is a CICPA Pass important?
A CICPA security pass registration is critical for organizations engaged in industries that have a significant impact on the UAE’s economic and social stability. Without a valid CICPA pass, employees and entities are not allowed access to restricted areas, which can cause operations in these critical sectors to be disrupted.
