The Civil Affairs Department of Saudi Arabia has announced a fine of 100 riyals for individuals who delay renewing their national identity cards. The fine aims to encourage timely renewal and maintain updated records.
Renewal Process
Renewal of the national ID can be done through the “Absher” platform, which provides a streamlined process for updating personal information. The details of the renewal steps are clarified in the app to assist residents in navigating the platform effectively.
Confirmation of Fine
In response to an inquiry on the “X” platform, the Civil Affairs Department confirmed that the fine is specifically for delays in renewal. However, no fine will be imposed for the first instance of losing the national ID when applying for a replacement card.
Implications of the Fine
The introduction of the fine is expected to motivate residents to renew their IDs on time, ensuring that their personal records are always up-to-date. This measure helps in maintaining accurate demographic data and enhances the efficiency of various administrative processes.
How to Avoid the Fine
To avoid the 100 riyals fine, residents should renew their national ID before it expires. The Absher platform provides reminders and easy steps to complete the renewal process without delays. For more details on the renewal process.
