In a recent clarification, the Absher platform has outlined the steps for users who have forgotten their usernames, responding directly to a query raised by a user on April 17, 2025. The official Absher account on social media provided guidance to enhance user experience and streamline access to accounts for visitors.
The process to recover a username is straightforward. Users are advised to first visit the official Absher website. Before logging in, they should click on the "Instant Absher Services - Visitors" option. Following that, they must select the "Recover Username for Visitors" service and follow the instructions to input the required details.
This service aims to facilitate access to visitor accounts without needing to contact technical support, thereby enhancing the overall user experience and supporting the digital transformation initiatives in Saudi Arabia.
For those looking to create a new username on Absher, the steps are similarly simple. Users should start by visiting the official Absher website at www.absher.sa. On the main page, they can click on the option to "Register in Absher" or "Create a new account for visitors" if they are not yet registered.
They will be prompted to enter personal information, including their national ID or residency number (for citizens and residents), a valid email address (as a confirmation email will be sent), and a mobile number (to receive a verification code via SMS). After entering the required information, users will receive a verification code, which they must enter in the designated field.
Once the code is confirmed, users can specify a new username and a strong password for their account. After completing all the required fields, they should click on "Register" to finalize the account creation process. Upon successful registration, a confirmation message will be sent to their email, and they will be able to log in using their chosen username and password.
Absher is also a vital tool for Saudi residents and citizens seeking to obtain entry permits to Mecca during the Hajj season. This service allows for quick and secure processing of permits without the need to visit passport administration offices, aligning with the organizational procedures for Hajj.
To issue a Mecca entry permit through Absher in 2025, users can follow these straightforward steps. First, they should enter the Absher website and log in by clicking on the "Log In" button and entering their personal details, including their name and password. After entering the verification code sent to their device for security purposes, they will access the main menu.
From the main menu, users should locate the "Permit Services" section and select "Mecca Permit." They will then be required to fill in necessary details such as their full name, email address, job title, phone number, and the expected entry and exit dates.
After confirming the accuracy of their input, users should click "Save" and wait for the permit to be issued. This process ensures a smooth entry into Mecca while helping to avoid potential violations and penalties.
For those needing to issue a Mecca entry permit for domestic workers, the process is slightly different but equally accessible. Users must log into their Absher account and select "Permit Services" from the main page. They should then choose "Domestic Worker Umrah Permit for Mecca" and fill in the required details, including the worker's name, phone number, and expected entry and exit dates.
After confirming the information and saving the data, users can expect to receive their permits in due course. However, there are specific conditions to be met for issuing a Mecca entry permit through Absher.
Firstly, users must ensure that their mobile phone number is officially registered with Absher and that their residential address in Mecca is also registered on the platform. Additionally, they must possess a valid Absher account and have no prior violations related to entry into Mecca.
Required documents for obtaining a Mecca entry permit include a copy of the work permit (for residents), a letter of identification from the employer (for residents), a copy of the personal ID, and a copy of the passport and residency card.
With these streamlined processes, Absher continues to play a crucial role in facilitating access to essential services for both residents and visitors in Saudi Arabia, enhancing the digital experience while ensuring adherence to regulations.
The clarity provided by Absher regarding username recovery and entry permits reflects the platform's commitment to improving user experience and supporting the Kingdom's broader digital transformation goals.
