The Civil Affairs Agency at the Ministry of Interior has confirmed that renewing the card electronically is now possible without visiting Civil Affairs offices. Citizens can complete the renewal process by logging into their Absher account and selecting the \"Services\" tab. From there, they can choose \"Civil Affairs\" and then click the \"Renew National ID\" icon. The steps to complete the service include reviewing the personal photo requirements and uploading the image according to the specified conditions. After this, the beneficiary selects their preferred national address for ID delivery and pays the associated delivery fees. This streamlined service enables citizens to easily renew their national ID cards digitally and have the card delivered to their chosen location.",
