Cairo: Saudi Arabia has launched a series of new digital services on a government platform for its citizens and expatriates to improve the efficiency of its services to the public.
New services available on the Ministry of Interior's Absher app include uploading employee photos for passport issuance or renewal, updating passport details for foreign residents, and digital identity consultation, which allows expatriates to view their digital identity, consult their details, and submit them upon request to the relevant authorities in the kingdom.
Other services include the Saudi National Identity Card and updating educational qualifications recorded in the Ministry of Education's systems. As a result, the ID card can be renewed and replaced in case of loss or damage, with the possibility of taking a personal photo through the application, while the Educational Qualifications Update service allows beneficiaries to register the document in Absher.
The Directorate of Civil Affairs at the Ministry of Interior explained that beneficiaries can consult the procedures and requirements of the new services by accessing their accounts on the Absher platform and the application on smartphones.
He said that the management continues to offer digital services through Absher to save time and effort, simplify procedures, and improve the quality of its services.
In 2013, the Saudi Ministry of Interior launched the Absher app, which gives citizens and foreign residents access to a range of government services.
