The newly released services now include a number of additions to the "Absher Individuals" platform. These include the ability to transfer car ownership to businesses and new features for air weapon permits, such as the ability to renew licenses and transfer ownership.
The "Accident Report" service is one of the new additions to the "Absher Business" portal, which also includes other services related to rock-cutting operations, such as the ability to cancel permissions for the usage of rock-cutting material, cancel permits for the drainage and transport of rock, and add new materials to existing licenses.
The Ministry of the Interior is constantly working to better the lives of citizens, residents, and visitors, speed up digital transformation, and simplify procedures; these new services are a part of that effort.
The services aim to reduce in-person visits and save time in the security sector by offering automated processes. Most Viewed: Saudi films brings in 100 million riyals in just 6 months of 2025
