Saudi ID Number Validator

Validating a Saudi National ID or Iqama Number

This tool checks whether a Saudi National ID or Iqama (residence permit) number is structurally valid. Both are ten-digit numbers, and a quick format check helps catch typing mistakes before you submit an application, fill in a government form, or enter the number into a business system. The check runs entirely in your browser, so the number you type is not stored.

In the Saudi numbering scheme, the leading digit signals the holder type: numbers for citizens typically begin with 1, while resident Iqama numbers typically begin with 2. The final digit is a check digit calculated from the preceding digits, which is why a single mistyped figure usually makes the whole number fail validation.

What the Result Does and Does Not Mean

A valid result means the number follows the correct length and check-digit pattern, not that it belongs to a specific real person or is currently active. Confirming identity, status, or eligibility requires the official government platforms such as Absher. Use this validator to reduce data-entry errors in forms, spreadsheets, and registrations, and always treat ID numbers as sensitive personal data that should be handled carefully and shared only when genuinely required.
