Are you looking for your sponsor details in Saudi Arabia but don’t know where to find them. Don’t worry. I will show you the easiest ways to check your Sponsor Name and Sponsor ID through Absher and MOFA websites. Let’s start with understanding what exactly is a Sponsor ID.
What is Sponsor ID
A Sponsor ID is a unique 10-digit number that the Ministry of Labor gives to every business in Saudi Arabia. This number helps identify your sponsor officially. You will need this important number for several things like:
- Getting your Efada Medical Report for driving license
- Applying for UAE e-visa if you are a GCC resident
- Official government procedures
- Banking and financial services
Find Sponsor ID on Absher (Recommended)
The easiest way to find your sponsor details is through Absher. Here is how you can do it step by step:
- Go to https://www.absher.sa/ and log in to your account
- Look for 3 dots next to your name and click on them
- From the menu select “Dashboard“
- You will see a new page. Click on “More Details“
- Scroll down until you see “Sponsor Name“
- Right below the sponsor name. You will find your “Sponsor ID” number
Important Note: If you notice that your sponsor name has changed in Absher. It means your Iqama transfer process is complete. This is actually good news for those who were waiting for their transfer.
What About Dependents and Family Members
If you are a dependent (like a family member). You don’t need to follow this process. Your guardian’s Iqama number is your sponsor number.
Check Sponsor ID through MOFA Website
This method takes a bit more time. But it’s another reliable way to get your sponsor details. Here is what you need to do:
- Before You Start make sure Nafath app is installed and activated
- Open https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/Account/
- Click the “Login” button
- Enter your Iqama Number
- Open your Nafath app and approve the sign-in request
- Once logged in. Select “Family Visit Visa Application for Residents”
- The website will automatically get your details including your Sponsor ID and Sponsor Name
Which Method Should You Choose
Honestly I recommend using Absher first because it is faster and easier. The MOFA method is good if you are already planning to apply for a family visit visa or if Absher isn’t working for some reason.
Both methods are official and reliable. So you can trust the information you get from either one.
