How to update your educational qualifications in Absher 1446 and modify your data
As part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts towards comprehensive digital transformation and streamlining government procedures for citizens and residents, the Ministry of Interior, through the "Absher" platform, offers an online service for updating educational qualifications and modifying educational data. This service saves time and effort, eliminating the need for users to visit civil affairs offices, reflecting the significant technological advancements in government services across the Kingdom.

Updating your educational qualifications in the official civil registry is a crucial step, as the accuracy of this data is linked to numerous other services. For example, the public and private sector employment systems rely heavily on data registered in the Absher platform to verify job applicants' eligibility. Furthermore, the integrated electronic linking between government agencies means that updating your data with the Ministry of Interior will positively impact your interactions with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, universities, and other vital sectors.
