Nafaz 2026 — National Unified Access: Registration and Services
Nafaz (National Unified Access) is a unified login system for electronic government services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, supervised by the Digital Government Authority. Nafaz allows citizens and residents to access all government services with a single account through the “Absher” platform, without the need to create an account for each government entity separately. With the Kingdom’s full digital transformation, Nafaz has become the primary means of accessing services from more than 100 government entities.
