RIYADH: The Interior Ministry has now made it possible for members of the public to register their SIM cards online through the Absher system.
The facility was ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif, said Tariq Al-Shaddi, the director general of the ministry’s National Information Center.
People were able to register all their SIM cards, prepaid and contract, through the system from Wednesday.
Al-Shaddi said the ministry wanted to make it easier for people to register, particularly the elderly and those with special needs, a local publication reported.
The Communications and Information Technology Commission had warned earlier this year that the country’s security agencies would enforce the new regulation requiring all telecommunications subscribers to register their fingerprints.
This was a new law related only to the identification of all subscribers, including visitors, Gulf citizens and pilgrims.
