Requirements Filing Applications
Requirements for (.com.sa) Latin Character domain:
For clarification regarding domain registration requirements for .sa/.com.sa and .alsuadiah, for the requirement of having a commercial registration certificate in KSA, the domain must be similar or identical to the certificate, if the domain is not similar or identical, then a CRC is not acceptable and a Saudi Trademark is required.
Also, since the Saudi NIC has changed the rules, as we previously indicated, regarding administrative contact issues, if you have any domains which were registered before the rule change and are not listed under our contacts for administrative, eventually they will need to be modified to our admin contact in order for our office to be able to handle any issues directly with the NIC. The attached form must be used, however it must be notarized and legalized up to the Saudi Consulate.
