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.
