Frequently Asked Questions

Do expats need Absher in Saudi Arabia?

Yes — most residency, visa, appointment, traffic and public-query services for Iqama holders are accessed through Absher, so having an active account is important.

Can I change my Absher mobile number?

Yes, but the method depends on whether you can still log in and access your old number for verification. If not, you may need to re-verify at an activation point.

Can I use Absher for family visa and Iqama services?

Many dependent Iqama, family visit visa and final exit services are available through Absher, depending on your eligibility and account status as sponsor.

Where can I activate my Absher account?

Self-service activation machines are available at airports, some Jawazat offices, banks and malls. Some banks also offer in-branch activation assistance.

What if I forget my Absher password?

Use the "forgot password" option on the login screen — you'll typically need your registered mobile number and ID details to reset it.
