The Ministry of Interior has launched a new application that allows expats to activate digital Iqama (ID) through their Absher account.
In this way, if someone is not carrying the Iqama, he can show the digital ID through the Absher application to the Saudi officials. In this way, expats can get away with the fine for not carrying an Iqama.
