Further to SAMA's Circular No. (43010538) dated 02/02/1443H, regarding the acceptance of the electronic identity for existing customers in transactions that do not require a physical copy, and establishing an suitable mechanism for obtaining an electronic copy of the identity for transactions that require one.
We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Interior has launched the "Digital Document" service, which allows for obtaining an electronic copy of the digital identity, in addition to verifying its authenticity, validity period, and the reference number generated for inquiry operations. This service can be accessed via QR code readers or by entering the national ID/residence number.
Accordingly, SAMA emphasizes the technical integration with (Elm) Company to utilize the Digital Document service, in direct coordination with the company. SAMA must be notified if any challenges or difficulties are encountered in the implementation. Furthermore, SAMA reiterates the obligation to comply with the provisions of the relevant laws, regulations, and instructions, and affirms the client's right to freely choose between presenting the physical or digital identity when dealing with the financial institution.
