The National Address system has become one of the most important digital services in Saudi Arabia. Whether you’re opening a bank account, receiving government letters, registering with delivery apps, or renewing official documents, your National Address is now required everywhere. The good news is that the full process—registration and updating—is completely online in 2025.
What the National Address System Does
Saudi Arabia introduced the National Address system to create a unified, verified location for every resident. It links your home or business address to your identity so banks, government agencies, and delivery services can find you accurately without paperwork or confusion.
“Once I updated my National Address, getting parcels and government mail became smooth,” said a resident in Jeddah who recently renewed his bank account details.
Who Needs a National Address?
Every resident and citizen—whether renting or owning property—needs a National Address. Foreign workers, families, business owners, and students are all required to register. More institutions now require it as part of account verification and official correspondence.
How to Register a National Address Online (2025)
1. Visit the Official Saudi Post Website
Go to the National Address platform on Saudi Post (SPL). The service works across mobile and desktop devices without extra apps.
2. Choose “Individual Registration”
You’ll see several options, including business services. Select **Individuals** to begin the personal registration process.
3. Enter Your Basic Details
- National ID or Iqama number
- Mobile number
- Date of birth
The system verifies your identity through an SMS code.
4. Add Your Exact Home Location
You can type your address manually or use the map pin to mark your home precisely. Many residents prefer the map because it avoids mistakes with building numbers or district names.
5. Confirm the House Details
- Building number
- Street name
- District
- City
- Postal code
Your National Address is generated once these details are submitted.
6. Complete Registration
After the confirmation screen, you’ll receive a digital certificate that you can use for banks, government portals, and service providers.
How to Update Your National Address (2025)
If you moved to a new home or changed phone numbers, updating your address is simple and free.
1. Log In to the National Address Portal
Use your mobile number or digital ID login method. The system will show your current registered address.
2. Select “Manage Address”
You’ll see two options: **Update Existing Address** or **Add New Address** if you want multiple locations.
3. Edit the Details
Change district, building number, map location, or phone number. New details appear instantly in your dashboard.
4. Save the Changes
Your updated address becomes active immediately across systems linked to Saudi Post.
A Riyadh resident said he updated his address during a home move, and his banks synced the new location within hours.
Why Keeping Your National Address Updated Matters
- Required for banking updates and new account opening
- Needed for government documents and visa applications
- Ensures accurate delivery of online orders
- Supports digital identity verification
- Avoids rejection of official requests due to outdated records
What If You Entered Wrong Information?
If you added incorrect building details or marked the wrong map location, log in and update it immediately. Incorrect addresses cause delays with banks, deliveries, and government mail.
Business Owners and the National Address
Companies must register their office location separately. Banks, tax authorities, and delivery services depend on accurate business addresses, especially in 2025 as digital documentation becomes standard.
