How to Register and Manage the Saudi National Address for Companies

What is the Saudi National Address?

The National Address is a unified addressing system adopted by the Saudi Post "SPL" to determine geographical locations with high accuracy, reaching 1-2 meters throughout all regions of the Kingdom. It aims to facilitate access to homes, institutions, and companies, whether for individuals, the private sector, or government entities. The address consists of a short code (4 letters and 4 numbers) that is easy to remember, in addition to precise details such as street name, district, and postal code.

It was adopted by the Council of Ministers with decision number (252) dated 24/7/1434 AH, and is mandatory for all individuals and entities to benefit from government and commercial services, such as package delivery or official transactions. It also supports e-commerce applications and logistics services, making it a vital tool in the digital economy.

National Address Components

The National Address consists of six basic elements that ensure precise location identification:

Component	Description
Building Number	Composed of 4 numbers, distinguishing the building from others in the district.
Street Name	The main street in front of the building entrance.
District Name	The district where the building is located.
City	The city or village where the address is located.
Postal Code	Composed of 5 numbers, determining the geographical area.
Sub Number	Composed of 4 numbers, indicating geographical coordinates precisely (used when there is no street or district).

In addition, the address includes a short code (such as ABCD-1234) used to facilitate remembering and sharing. In the case of multi-unit buildings, a unit number is added to specify the location within the building.
