Saudi Passports Directorate outlines steps to cancel dependent record on Absher
The General Directorate of Passports has detailed how to cancel a resident dependent’s record via the Absher platform for those who have left and not returned.
The General Directorate of Passports unveiled its contactless electronic gate at the Ministry of Interior's exhibition booth during the LEAP 2026 conference in Riyadh. Scheduled from August 31 to September 3, 2026, at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Mulhem, north of Riyadh, the event showcased the latest self-service border crossing technology.
This system enables travelers to pass through by merely waving their hand over a reader, eliminating the need for physical contact. The gate automatically verifies the traveler's identity and opens the border without requiring a passport or fingerprint submission. The Passports Authority is also presenting its most advanced digital solutions to enhance the flow of travelers through international entry points.
The aim is to bolster digital operations, harness modern technologies, and elevate service efficiency and user experience.
