Steps to obtain an accident report and transfer motorcycle ownership via Absher

General context and digital transformation in the Kingdom

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a global and regional leader in digital transformation, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 launched by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In this context, the Absher electronic platform of the Ministry of Interior stands out as one of the most important government platforms that has revolutionized the way services are provided to citizens and residents. Historically, traffic procedures such as obtaining accident reports or transferring vehicle ownership required in-person visits to traffic departments, consuming considerable time and effort, in addition to complex paperwork. Today, thanks to the advanced digital infrastructure, users can complete these transactions with the click of a button and the highest security standards.

The importance and impact of digital traffic services

The importance of these digital services lies in their direct impact at the local level by saving users time and effort, reducing traffic congestion on streets and in government offices, and increasing transparency and reliability in financial and administrative transactions. Regionally and internationally, the Saudi experience in e-governance through the Absher platform has become a model to be emulated in data management efficiency and facilitating people's lives, thus enhancing the Kingdom's ranking in global competitiveness indices.

How to obtain a traffic accident report via Absher

One of the most prominent services offered by the General Directorate of Traffic through the Absher platform is the issuance of traffic accident reports. This service allows individuals to print a detailed report on any previously recorded traffic accident for submission to relevant authorities such as insurance companies or judicial bodies. A key feature of this report is the ability to verify its authenticity and reliability electronically by scanning a QR code, thus preventing any attempts at manipulation or forgery.

Steps to implement the service:

1. Log in to the official website of the Absher electronic platform using your credentials.
2. Go to the main menu and select the My Services.
3. Click on the pass from the drop-down menu.
4. Select the accident report, then select the vehicle involved in the accident from your vehicle list.
5. Review the list of recorded incidents and select the incident for which a report is to be issued.
6. Pay the prescribed service fees electronically through available bank payment channels.
7. Print the report directly or save it as a PDF file to submit to the relevant authorities.

Motorcycle ownership transfer service via Absher

In addition to accident reports, the Absher platform offers another vital service: the electronic transfer of motorcycle ownership from one beneficiary to another, provided all regulatory requirements are met, such as a valid vehicle inspection and valid insurance. This service relies on a secure financial system that guarantees the rights of both parties (the seller and the buyer) through an intermediary bank account (guarantor).

Steps to transfer ownership to the seller:

• Log in to the seller's account on the Absher platform.
• Go to My Services, then select Vehicle Management, followed by Vehicle Sales.
• Select the motorcycle you wish to sell and enter the required data to create a sales request.
• Send the request electronically to the buyer to begin the process.
• After the buyer agrees and transfers the full amount into the escrow bank account, the seller begins the procedures for delivering the bicycle and transferring ownership.
• The price of the bicycle is automatically transferred to the seller's bank account linked to the Absher platform after the transaction is successfully completed.

Steps to transfer ownership to the buyer:

• Receiving notification of a motorcycle purchase request sent by the seller.
• Access the platform and accept or reject the request within the legally specified time period.
• If accepted, the buyer pays the full purchase price to the bank account designated for the transaction via banking channels.
• After notifying both parties of payment confirmation, the buyer comes to inspect the motorcycle on the ground and begin the procedures for transferring ownership.
• The buyer receives a confirmation code (OTP) via text message, and shares it with the seller only after completing the inspection and confirming that the bike matches the specifications, thus completing the transfer process and issuing the new form.

The continued expansion of Absher platform services reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to harnessing technology to serve humanity, thereby enhancing the quality of life and supporting the path of sustainable development in all service sectors.
