Translating Saudi Passports for Australian Visa and Identity Purposes
Saudi passports are issued by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) under the Ministry of Interior. The biographical data page contains Arabic text with English transliterations. Saudi names require careful transliteration, accounting for family/tribal names.
Saudi passports include the holder's full Arabic name, date of birth in Hijri and Gregorian calendars, national ID number and issuing authority details. Saudi Arabia has introduced modern biometric passports, though older format passports remain in circulation.
