Further to the Guide to Organize Operational Procedures for Money Exchange Centers issued by SAMA in February 2015 regarding customer acceptance policies and procedures for verifying national ID.

We inform you that SAMA has received a letter from His Royal Highness the Minister of Interior, No. 199974 dated 10/09/1440H, which includes approval to exempt customers of money exchange centers at airports who are traveling outside the Kingdom from providing their national ID for transactions. Instead, they may present their passport and boarding pass, which should be matched with the customer’s name.
