Further to the Currency Exchange Operations Procedures Guide issued by the Central Bank in February 2015 regarding customer acceptance policies and procedures for verifying national identity, we inform you that the Central Bank 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 currency exchange centers at airports who are traveling outside the Kingdom from providing their national identity for transactions. Instead, they can present their passport and boarding pass, which should be matched with the customer’s name.
