Planning on a haul to kick-off the new year with a massive dose of dopamine? You may want to put a pause on that.
The Transport General Authority (TGA) has announced that without a registered Saudi national address no parels will be delivered.
The rule was announced via the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the TGA. According to the tweet, the change will be implemented as the clock ticks down to midnight on New Year’s Eve.
So, if you do not have a registered address on gov.sa, you have almost 15 days to get that sorted.

The Transport General Authority has urged individuals and businesses to register their Saudi national address in advance of a new rule. Once implemented, parcel delivery companies will no longer be allowed to accept or transport any shipments that do not include a registered national address.
Saudi national address registration deadline for parcel delivery
You have until Wednesday, December 31 to register your national address to avoid facing delivery delays. The new rule will be implemented on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
Why Saudi national address was made necessary for parcel delivery
The Authority explained that the decision is part of a strategic effort to enhance customer experience and speed up delivery services, while also cutting down on unnecessary back and forth between couriers and recipients.
It added that the move helps ensure smoother operations and greater accuracy across parcel delivery processes, allowing companies to operate more efficiently.
The TGA also highlighted that using the national address system allows for precise identification of residential and commercial locations, which plays a key role in strengthening the overall efficiency of logistics services across the Kingdom.
How to register your Saudi national address
To register your address, log in to my.gov.sa using the same username and password you use on the Absher platform. Select Start Service, then sign in through the National Sign On system via Nafath. Complete the required details and submit your address information. Your registration will be activated within 24 hours, and you will receive a notification with your transaction number once the process is complete.
Other Saudi transportation changes
Saudi Arabia is seriously upgrading the way people move around the Kingdom. From self-driving car pilots and the KAFD monorail, getting from A to B is becoming easier than ever. Add to that the upcoming high speed Saudi land bridge rail, a dedicated fast train to Six Flags Qiddiya, and Dream of the Desert opening pre reservations, and it is clear the Kingdom is fast tracking the future of travel. First-ever Saudi Arabia to Qatar high speed rail link has also been announced.
From Thu Jan 1, 2026. Across Saudi, my.gov.sa.
