RIYADH — The Saudi General Directorate of Passports revealed that the electronic authorization service via the Absher platform is subject to two conditions for validation. The authorized person must be a Saudi citizen, and both the authorizing party and the authorized person must have an active account on the Absher platform. The Passports Directorate also allows either party to cancel the authorization at any time. The electronic service enables users to authorize another person to act on their behalf in completing passport-related transactions without the need for in-person visits to Passport offices. The digital service saves users time and effort while ensuring that transactions are completed accurately within the specified timeframe. The General Directorate of Passports recently announced that 23 services are available through electronic authorization. The electronic authorization services include issuing and canceling travel permits for dependents; reporting lost or damaged passports; issuing and renewing iqama (residency permit) of expatriates; receiving printed copy of iqamas; issuing and canceling exit and re-entry visas; issuing and canceling final exit visas; reporting lost iqamas; reporting lost passports of expatriates; reporting absconding of workers; and adding and removing dependents. The list of available electronic authorization services also includes transferring a dependent status of head of household; changing professions; transferring services; transferring information; extending visit visas; issuing and renewing passports; receiving passports; registering a “left and not returned” status; authorizing resident services; and checking previous passports. The service enables Absher users to electronically authorize another person to complete a service on their behalf. Users can also view and cancel issued authorizations through Absher Individuals services.RIYADH — The Saudi General Directorate of Passports revealed that the electronic authorization service via the Absher platform is subject to two conditions for validation.
