As you know that iqama is the inevitable legal document to live and work in KSA. And, Jawazat prints lots of information on it, like name and date of birth.  Furthermore, the name is written both in Arabic and English. But if the information is not correct then it is a real problem.

Problems With A Misspelled Name

First of all, it is quite possible that banks refuse to open your account. The money transfer agencies like Tahweel Rajhi and Quickpay may also not allow you to make a transaction. And the reason is simple, your name does not match.

Secondly, If you are planning to migrate to Europe, Canada, Australia, etc, You have to submit a Police Clearance Certificate. But if the name is different on the iqama and passport, the police may refuse you.

Thirdly, while applying for a permanent family visa, the chances of refusal are quite high because of the mismatched names. So what should do to change iqama name? let’s explain the procedure.

Procedure To Correct And Change Iqama Name
