An apparatus and method are disclosed for selecting a single device identity on near field communications (NFC) devices that emulate multiple identities. A first NFC device sends a polling command and a second NFC device receives the polling command. The second NFC device, which emulates multiple identities, is configured to extract any identifying characteristics from the polling command and search a list it maintains of all the emulated identities. The second NFC device is also configured to select the first emulated identity that matches the characteristics including in the polling command. A link is then established between the first NFC device and the second NFC device which emulates the target specified in the polling command.
