How to Register Your National Address in Saudi Arabia

The National Address is a mandatory registered address system in Saudi Arabia managed by Saudi Post (SPL). All residents — Saudi nationals and expats alike — are required to have a registered National Address. It is used for official correspondence, Iqama renewal, license delivery, and government services.

Who Is This For?

Residents and expats in Saudi Arabia who need to register or update their National Address for the first time.

What You Need Before Starting

  • ✓A valid Iqama or National ID
  • ✓Your full residential address in Saudi Arabia (building number, street, district, city)
  • ✓A valid Saudi mobile number registered in your name

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1Go to the Saudi Post National Address portal at splonline.com.sa or download the SPL app
  2. 2Click 'Register National Address'
  3. 3Enter your Iqama number (or National ID for Saudi nationals) and mobile number
  4. 4Verify your identity via the OTP sent to your mobile
  5. 5Enter your residential address — building number, street name, district, city, postal code
  6. 6If you don't know your exact address details, use the map feature to pin your location
  7. 7Review the address and confirm
  8. 8Save your National Address ID — you will need this for many government services

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • ✗Entering an incorrect building number — this causes mail and deliveries to fail
  • ✗Not updating the address after moving — many services rely on your registered address being current
  • ✗Using a work address instead of your home address — this can cause issues with Iqama renewal
  • ✗Skipping this step when first arriving — some services will block until the address is registered
