Key Facts

  • The ministry says users can activate a digital identity directly in the app rather than visiting a physical Sanad service center.
  • The updated app includes access to official digital documents such as national ID cards and driver’s licenses, according to public reporting.
  • Officials reported usage metrics including monthly users and activated digital identities following the update.

Card Text

Moving digital ID activation fully remote can materially change assurance assumptions and fraud risk, depending on the proofing and account recovery controls used inside the app.
