The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its rapid progress towards comprehensive digital transformation. The "Absher" platform, the technological arm of the Ministry of Interior and a cornerstone of this transformation, contributes to facilitating the lives of citizens and residents by automating government procedures. In this context, the platform offers a suite of advanced services related to the transportation sector, specifically vehicle card issuance and reporting , which aim to enhance the reliability of transactions and protect the rights of vehicle owners.
The importance of digital services for the automotive sector
These services are part of the General Directorate of Traffic's efforts to regulate and control the vehicle market, both in terms of buying and selling, and in addressing the status of damaged and abandoned vehicles. These digital solutions save time and effort, eliminating the need for users to visit branches, reflecting the government sector's commitment to achieving the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 in improving the quality of life.
What is the scrapped vehicle reporting service?
This service is an important tool for documenting a vehicle's legal status, allowing users to print an official report detailing vehicles whose status in the traffic records has been changed to "used for spare parts" or "exported abroad." This service is particularly important following corrective campaigns to scrap damaged and abandoned vehicles, as users need official proof that they have no claim to these vehicles.
What is a vehicle display card service?
In a move aimed at boosting trust in the used car market, beneficiaries can now issue a separate listing card for each vehicle they own through the Absher . This card serves as a reliable digital document proving the seller's ownership and confirming their identity, while also allowing them to view the vehicle's basic data when selling it through digital platforms, thus reducing fraud and the sale of fictitious vehicles.
Key questions about vehicle display card
To clarify how the service works, the platform answered a number of important questions:
- Multi-use capability: The card is flexible, as the vehicle display card can be used on any approved digital platform to display vehicles for sale , thus expanding the circle of potential buyers.
- Data update: If the beneficiary changes their registered mobile number, it is not necessary to issue a new offer card, as the data is updated automatically to ensure the continuity of the service.
- Financial fees: The platform explained that the service requires payment of specific fees to issue the vehicle display card, in return for the documentation and reliability that the card provides for the sale process.
- Card access mechanism: Beneficiaries can easily access and view the card after its issuance by accessing the "Vehicle Display Card" service located within the "Vehicle Management" tab on the Absher Individuals platform.
