Saudi passports authority details online renewal process via Absher
The General Directorate of Passports has announced that Saudi passports can now be renewed electronically through the Absher platform.
Absher has clarified details regarding the issuance and renewal of resident IDs for domestic workers on its platform. Employers can now issue or renew these IDs through the Absher account, with flexible durations starting from three months and continuing in multiples of three. The service encompasses both the first-time issuance and renewal of resident IDs.
The process involves paying the required fees through various banking channels, which include the resident ID fee, government charges, and any applicable financial dues. Importantly, opting for a three-month duration does not incur additional fees beyond the standard costs.
The validity period and associated fees commence from the expiration date of the previous ID, not from the renewal date. Employers must be aware that statutory fines are imposed for delays in issuing or renewing the resident ID. However, splitting the fees into multiple payments does not increase the total amount due, offering a more flexible payment option to manage financial obligations effectively.
