Documents checklist
What Saudi citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Saudi government information:
Renewing a Saudi passport abroad
- Fill in the electronic “passport issuance” request (MOFA e-services) with your Enjaz reference number, attach a photo and documents, then print and sign the form
- A copy of your existing passport – the original is handed in when you receive the new one
- A letter of introduction according to your situation (employer certificate, cultural mission or university letter, or hospital letter)
- A copy of your residence or study ID and of your national ID
- The mission may ask you (or your guardian) to appear in person or to send documents by post; minors need the guardian’s consent
- If the passport expired more than a year ago, a laissez-passer may be issued instead
