In Saudi Arabia, the General Traffic Department, known as Moroor, has recently provided a detailed outline of the prerequisites and steps essential for renewing a vehicle's technical inspection, commonly referred to as Fahas. This process is an integral part of renewing a vehicle's license and involves specific requirements tailored to the type of vehicle in question.

Technical Inspection for Vehicles:
Moroor emphasizes that new private cars in Saudi Arabia are required to undergo a technical inspection every three years. Additionally, public taxis, buses, and other forms of public transportation must undergo inspection two years after receiving their initial license.

Absher Periodic Inspection:
Moroor also highlights the significance of a Periodic Inspection in the context of changing car ownership. To successfully transfer car ownership, the buyer needs a valid driver's license, a clean traffic violation record, and a completed Periodic Inspection of the vehicle.

According to the Absher platform, it is crucial for the data from the periodic inspection to be linked to the digital identity on the Absher Individuals platform. Failure to link this data may result in a note being displayed during the traffic license renewal service.

Periodic Inspection Frequency:
In alignment with the traffic system, a technical inspection involves a thorough check at approved periodic inspection centers. Moroor stresses the importance of drivers committing to this periodic technical inspection annually. However, an exception is made for new private vehicles, which undergo examination three years after obtaining their initial driving license.

Checking Car Inspection Validity:
The Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization have established an official account of Periodic Inspection, shedding light on the regular examination of cars for technical issues. To verify the validity of a vehicle inspection, individuals can employ various methods:

Sticker or Certificate of Inspection: Check for a physical sticker or certificate indicating a successful inspection.

Absher Individuals Platform: Log in to the Absher Individuals site, navigate to Vehicles - Services, and select Vehicle Management. From there, choose the specific car and explore more details.
