Iqama Name Correction Service (ID)
\n\n\n\nWhat is the service?
\n\n\n\nThe Iqama Name Correction Service allows residents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to correct spelling errors or modify name data registered on the Iqama (ID) card to align with the information in their passport or other official documents.
\n\n\n\nConditions and Requirements
\n\n\n\n- The applicant must be a legal resident holding a valid Iqama.
- There must be a clear spelling error in the name registered on the Iqama (such as transposed letters, omissions, or additions).
- Attach a clear copy of the valid passport showing the correct name.
- Attach a copy of the current Iqama that requires correction.
- If the correction is due to a legal name change (e.g., after marriage), attach the official document proving the change (marriage certificate, court order, etc.).
- There must be no security or judicial obstacles preventing the modification of the data.
