In its ongoing efforts to develop digital services and streamline procedures for beneficiaries, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to offer innovative solutions that serve the labor market. Among the most prominent of these services is the availability of a "salary certificate" through the "Worker Document" service, which represents a significant leap forward in how official employee documents are handled in the private and non-profit sectors.
Advantages of a digital salary certificate
A salary certificate is an official, certified document that details an employee's financial and employment status. This document possesses several characteristics that make it highly reliable for those requesting it
- Comprehensiveness: The document includes detailed information about the basic salary, various allowances (such as housing and transportation allowances), and any other financial benefits received by the employee.
- Reliability: Being issued by official government platforms, it has an official character that eliminates the need for traditional paper documentation and manual seals that used to take a long time.
- Easy access: The employee can retrieve it at any time and from anywhere without having to refer directly to the human resources department at his workplace, giving him greater independence and flexibility.
How to obtain a salary certificate
Beneficiaries can obtain this certificate through the ministry's digital platforms (such as the Qiwa platform or the Individuals Portal) by following easy steps:
- Log in to the beneficiary's account via the National Unified Access Portal.
- Go to the e-services menu and select "Worker Document" or Employment Services.
- Choose a salary certificate issuance service.
- Download the certificate in a digital format that can be printed or shared electronically.
National context and digital transformation
The launch and development of such services aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 , which places a strong emphasis on digital transformation and streamlining government procedures. These steps aim to eliminate paper-based bureaucracy, reduce transaction processing times, and enhance the efficiency of the Saudi labor market. Previously, obtaining a salary certificate involved cumbersome procedures that could be delayed due to the absence of the responsible employee or late signatures; today, the process is instantaneous and fully automated.
The importance and impact of the document
A salary certificate is of utmost importance in the daily lives of citizens and residents, as it is a fundamental document in many transactions:
- The banking sector: It is a prerequisite for obtaining personal or real estate financing, or even for obtaining credit cards.
- Real estate transactions: These are requested by landlords and real estate brokers to prove the tenant's financial solvency.
- Government and international procedures: Used to obtain visas for travel, and to update data with various official bodies.
In doing so, the Ministry of Human Resources contributes to enhancing transparency and reliability in financial and employment transactions, which positively impacts the economic and investment environment in the Kingdom.
