Saudi Domain Registration Requirements: .sa and .com.sa

A practical checklist for preparing a Saudi domain registration request and checking current requirements with an authorized registrar.

Registering a Saudi domain starts with choosing a suitable name and checking that the applicant is eligible to use it. Requirements can differ by applicant type and extension, so confirm the current document checklist with an authorized registrar before applying.

What to prepare

  • Your preferred name and extension, such as .sa or .com.sa.
  • Accurate registrant and administrative contact details.
  • Evidence that you have the right to use the requested name or its relation to your activity, when required for your applicant category.
  • A payment method and confirmation of registration, renewal and recovery fees before submitting.

Application steps

  1. Choose an extension and name, then check initial availability.
  2. Review current eligibility and document requirements with an authorized registrar.
  3. Submit information through the registrar’s official channel and check the registrant name and extension before confirming.
  4. After approval, keep account access safe and review DNS settings and renewal reminders.

Important notes

An initial availability check does not reserve a domain or confirm eligibility. Final acceptance is determined by the registrar and registry requirements. Do not send identity or business documents through an untrusted channel; ask the registrar for a secure submission method.
