How to Check Your Iqama Expiry Date Easily

When it comes to expatriates in Saudi Arabia, the Iqama is the most important document. It is a residence permit that allows you to work and live in the kingdom. Therefore, understanding how to check your Iqama’s validity or expiry date is crucial. In this article, we discuss some easy methods to check your Iqama expiry date in Saudi Arabia.

1st Method: Absher Website

Ministry of Interior’s Absher portal is the first option. By using the Absher website, you can quickly find out your Iqama expiry date, but for this, you need to have an active Absher account. If you have not yet signed up with Absher, here is a guide to register on Absher. The following are the steps on how to check Iqama validity on Absher.

  1. Visit https://absher.sa
  2. Select “Individuals,” and log in with your username and password.
  3. Once logged in, go to your personal dashboard.
  4. Find and click on the “Query Iqama Expiry Service” under the list of services.

Once you click on the option, you will be able to view your iqama validity status.

2nd Method: MOL Website

You can check your Iqama expiry even if you don’t have an Absher account through the MOL website. This MHRSD portal allows you to check your Iqama status by providing your Iqama number and date of birth. If you are a first-time expat and don’t know your Iqama number, you can even obtain your Iqama number and check the status using your border number. Here are the steps.
