In 2006, the United Arab Emirates announced it would build a DNA database of its entire population. The UK Forensic Science Service (FSS) originally signed contracts to develop the database, but the FSS has since closed down due to bankruptcy.

In practice, the UAE appears to have abandoned the plan to put its whole population on a DNA database and is instead collecting DNA from prisoners.
