Need to activate or register your Absher account at a self-service machine? Here’s how to find the nearest kiosk, what to bring, typical services, common issues, and alternatives if a machine is down.
How to find the nearest Absher machine (official locator)
- Open the Absher “Self-Service Registration & Activation Machines” page.
- Choose Search by Nearest Location (allow location), or Search by Region and select your city/province.
- Please select a venue (e.g., mall, Jawazat, airport) and record its hours/location details.
Examples from the official list (subject to change):
- Riyadh: Malaz Passports; King Khalid International Airport T5; King Faisal Specialist Hospital (North Tower).
- Makkah Province: Makkah Mall kiosk and other city listings in the locator.
- Eastern Region: Multiple entries (e.g., Khobar, Qatif), visible in the locator.
What services do kiosks provide?
- Register a new Absher account and activate it via self-service.
- Some locations list additional information alongside the machine (e.g., hours, venue rules). Always rely on the official locator entry for the most current details.
What to bring
- National ID/Iqama
- Mobile number registered in your name (for OTP)
- Optional: a note with your Absher username if you’re activating a recently created account.
Common locations & timing tips
- Machines are commonly placed in Jawazat/Civil Affairs offices, airports, and malls. Hours follow the venue’s schedule, not a single national schedule. If one machine is busy/offline, check nearby entries in the locator.
If a kiosk is unavailable
- Try a nearby machine listed in the locator.
- Use bank activation (supported banks listed in Absher).
- Complete activation through Nafath if your flow supports it (in-app identity approval).
