As part of the comprehensive digital transformation underway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to achieve the goals of Vision 2030, the Ministry of Interior, through its leading electronic platform “Absher,” continues to provide innovative technological solutions aimed at facilitating the lives of citizens and residents. Historically, traffic procedures related to vehicles and license plates required frequent field visits to traffic departments, which consumed considerable time and effort and caused congestion at government offices. Today, thanks to the advanced digital infrastructure, these procedures have been transformed into integrated electronic services that can be completed anytime, anywhere.
