Explanation of the Combination of the Ten-Digit Computer Number of the Ministry of Interior: 
 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
 1.Digit number (1) on the left refers to the type of the computer number, and its value is as follows:
 
  -The value is (1) for Saudi citizens. When a Saudi citizen is born, he/she is given a computer number (which is the number of his/her national ID). The computer number of an establishment of a Saudi natural person is the number of the owner’s ID.
 
  -The value is (2) for foreign residents of all nationalities. The computer number for a resident is the same as that of his/her Iqama. Each foreign resident in Saudi Arabia has his/her own unique number regardless of him/her being a family head or a dependent. The computer number of an establishment of a foreign natural person permitted to own businesses is the number of his/her Iqama.
 
  -The value is (3) or (5) for visitors coming to Saudi Arabia for the purpose of a temporary visit rather than residence, such as those coming for Umrah, on a special or business visit, etc. This value is also used for GCC citizens. The computer number is given to a GCC citizen coming to Saudi Arabia and is used in each visit to Saudi Arabia.
 
  -The value is (6) for pilgrims. The number is given to a pilgrim upon his/her arrival in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj.
 
  -The value is (7) for government entities, joint-stock companies, privet entities, or any other entities, such as military missions, charities, international schools, sports clubs, or diplomatic bodies, etc.
 
2.The value from digit number (2) to digit number (9) is a serial number ranging from 00000000 to 99999999.
 
3.Digit number (10) is a “verification" digit. Its value ranges from (0) to (9) and is derived from the values of the other nine digits. It is used to check the correctness of the computer number. Any entity wishing to receive the formula applied to derive this digit for programming purposes, may contact the National Information Center of the Ministry of Interior..
