Civil Affairs explains ID card and family register retention rules
The General Directorate of Civil Status at the Ministry of Interior has clarified the conditions for retaining old official documents, such as the national ID card and family register, after a replacement has been issued in Saudi Arabia. They emphasized that citizens must perforate the old documents after replacing them to ensure they cannot be used again in official transactions, and this must be done within 90 days from the date of issuance of the new document. This procedure aims to prevent the use of more than one document at the same time and to protect official data, while still allowing individuals to keep the old documents personally after their validity has been canceled. Additionally, the Civil Status has launched electronic services through the Absher application to facilitate renewing or issuing a replacement for lost or damaged national IDs, enabling users to complete these procedures without visiting Civil Status offices, thereby saving time and effort.
