AIThe Civil Affairs Agency at the Ministry of Interior has announced details of its new online newborn registration service, allowing Saudi citizens and residents to register their newborns electronically.
According to a post on the agency’s X platform, the service enables users to request delivery of official documents—such as the family record and birth certificate for citizens, and birth certificates for residents—directly to their national address, eliminating the need to visit Civil Affairs offices.
To use the service, users should log in to the Absher platform, select “My Services,” then “Services,” click on the “Civil Affairs” icon, choose “Newborn Registration Service,” review the requirements, and complete the application process.
The agency emphasized that births must be registered within 30 days of the date of birth. A financial penalty will be imposed if this period is exceeded.
