Saudi certificate: which one to request

2 min read · King Hands practical guide

The Saudi choice: the Ahwal's certificate (with the double hijri-Gregorian date), the Latin spelling per the passport, and — for the families who lived the kingdom — the histories via iqama. The digital kingdom's menu.

The formats

  • The Ahwal's certificate — the digital national standard.
  • The Absher extracts — the logged-in everyday.
  • The expatriate histories — via the era's numbers.

The typical package

Certificate + apostille + sworn translation with the hijri conversion. The numbers (ID/iqama) archived; the family batch through the same rite.

Frequently asked questions

My child was born in the kingdom — does the certificate count in Brazil?+

Apostilled and translated, yes — and the Brazilian consular registration complements it. The pair covers both ends.

Does the double date confuse Brazil?+

The sworn translation converts and annotates — the hijri-Gregorian pair becomes a standard explanatory note.
