Citizen’s Account clarifies definition and requirements for independent individuals

Saudi Arabia's Citizen’s Account program has provided clarification on who can be classified as an independent individual, the necessary documentation, and the process for proving independent residency. The program defines an independent individual as anyone aged 18 or over who is not married and does not have dependents, encompassing single individuals of both genders, divorcees, and widows or widowers.

Individuals residing independently may be automatically identified without submitting documents if they possess a valid rental agreement through the Ejar platform, are enrolled in social housing, or hold a housing certificate from an educational institution.

Furthermore, proof of independent residency can be furnished through the submission of a housing certificate from either a government or private entity, or a housing certificate from an institute or academy. Concerning the disbursement of the September 2026 support (Batch 106), the program assured that payments will be made on the 10th of each Gregorian month, with adjustments made to the date prior or subsequent if the 10th falls on a weekend.

The support for Batch 106 is scheduled to be distributed on Thursday, September 10. The eligibility outcomes for Citizen’s Account assistance for September 2026 (Batch 106) are anticipated to be disclosed in the near future.
