What Is the National Address in Saudi Arabia?
The National Address is an official address system in Saudi Arabia that uniquely identifies every residence and building using standardized location details.
It is used for government services, banking, deliveries, residency records, and official communication across the Kingdom.
As per regulations currently in effect from January 1, 2026, receiving parcels in Saudi Arabia requires a registered National Address, according to the Transport General Authority(TGA).
Because of this, all residents, including expatriates, are advised to complete their National Address registration without delay.
How to Register for a National Address Using the SPL App
The registration process is done through the official SPL mobile application and takes only a few minutes.

Change the app language to English for easier understanding, then select Login / Register from the menu.
Tap New Register at the bottom of the login screen to create a new SPL account.
Choose Individual, enter your Iqama number, and select your date of birth using the Gregorian calendar.
Next, enter your personal details such as your mobile number and email address, then continue.
