Istimara Renewal Requirements in Saudi Arabia

Before you start the service of vehicle registration, you need to fulfil the following criteria.

Register in Absher KSA.

Registering in Absher is the first requirement to start the renewal process. If you don’t have an account then you can register a moi Absher account easily. You can access the renewal service only if you have the account.

Pay the Renewal Fee For Istimara ( Vehicle Registration).

Absher doesn’t start the service unless you have deposited the renewal fee. The istimara renewal charges are 300 Saudi Riyals for private vehicles in 2020. Before the cost was 150 riyals. For the Taxi, trucks and the minibuses, the renewal charges are 600 Saudi Riyals.

You can deposit it using your online bank account, ATM or through Sadad account. The validity of vehicle registration is 3 years.

Pay All Traffic Violations

If you have unpaid traffic violations, then pay them fist. You can check all traffic violations in your Absher account. To pay all violations at once, you can use the bank account. You can also pay grama (traffic violations) using Tahweel al Rajhi or Quick Pay account.

Validity of Istimara

Absher will update your istimara, only if it is going to expire within 180 days (6 months). The expiry date is available on your istimara card. However, there is possibility that expiry date is not available on the it. In that case, check it in your Absher account.

Perform the MVPI Fahas

Fahas is another requirement to renew istimara. If you don’t have a valid fahas, then go to any fahas center and make a new one. Nowadays, muroor checks fahas and if you don’t have it, muroor can charge you a  fine of 150 riyals. So keep it updated. Furthermore, you cannot renew vehicle registration without fahas.

To avoid a fine and a security check at checkpoints ( Nukta Tafsheesh), don’t remove the sticker from your vehicle front screen. Traffic police take a picture and send a penalty message on your mobile.

In the hard days of Corona Pandemic, moroor was renewing vehicle registration without conducting fahas. But now it is obligatory to pass the test. The fee is 73 Riyals Plus 15% VAT. You can visit any MVPI centre throughout the kingdom.

Get The Vehicle Insurance

Your vehicle must have valid insurance at the time of renewal of the istimara. You can buy insurance online. Several insurance companies are offering online vehicle insurance in Saudi Arabia. You may give a try to Walaa insurance as we found it cheaper than other companies for Hyundai and Kia.

Also, Please note that there is no need to fill istimara renewal form because now you can renew it online using Absher services.

Procedure to Renew Istimara Online in Saudi Arabia

After fulfilling the above requirements, you can start the process to renew istimara. Using Absher app for the procedure is easy and time-saving. However, You can also use the Absher website. There is no difference in the procedure. Let’s start the process.

  • Log in to Absher app
  • In the Dashboard, tap on ‘Vehicle Information.’

But in case, you have an old card then collect the new one from traffic police (Muroor) office. Below you can find the addresses of  the ictimara collection centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

 What to do if Istimara is Lost?

In case you lost the istimara ( vehicle registration card), you can get a new one by following the process, given below.

  • Pay a fee of 110 Riyals for re-issue of the vehicle registration card.
    2. Go to Istimara Issuance Center (Traffic Police office).
    3. Ask them to issue a new istimara because you lost the previous one. Besides, inform them that you have paid the istimara issuance fee.
    4. Within 10 to 15 minutes, they will issue you the new Istimara.

I need Istimara application form

As per the new system, you don’t need istimara application form. Because you can renew it online. We have provided the process for renewal of istimara above.

Can I check istimara expiry date?

On old istimara, the expiry date is available. But if you have a new istimara, there is no validity date on it. So to check the expiry date of vehicle registration in KSA,

  • Login to Absher account through app or web portal.
  • After successful login, click on Dashboard
  • In Vehicles Section, Click on More Details
  •  The next window will show you the expiry date of istimara.

What is the penalty on Expired Istimara

100 riyal is the penalty on expired istimara. To avoid it, renew the istimara on time. However, there is a grace period of 30 days after the expiry. So make sure that you renew it before the grace period ends. Otherwise, the penalty is a must. Nowadays as the coronavirus spread, the penalty is waived. But don’t take risk and renew it as soon as possible.

How to find vehicle sequence number on Istimara

The sequence number is required to pay vehicle fees through sadad. The sequence number (الرقم التسلسلي)  is available on your istimara card. Mostly, It is a nine-digit number. Also, It is the last information available on your istimara.

Can I transfer Istimara?

Yes, you can transfer istimara. The transfer fee is 150 riyals. You can pay the fee through your bank account or ATM.

I am driving without Istimara.

If muroor catches you while driving without istimara, he can issue a mukhalfa ( traffic violation penalty) between 500 Riyals to 900 riyals.

Expired Istimara Renewal

The renewal procedure is the same as described above. Except, you have to pay 400 riyals as a renewal fee in Saudi Arabia. Besides, the Validity of Istimara is three years. After that, you will renew it again.
