What is “Nafath”? A Complete Guide to Saudi Arabia’s Unified Access Portal

With Saudi Arabia’s rapid digital transformation, accessing government services has become easier, faster, and more secure. One of the most important initiatives in this journey is the National Single Sign-On Platform, known as “Nafath”.

What is “Nafath”?

Nafath is a unified digital access system launched by the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA). It allows citizens and residents to log in to various government and private sector services using one secure and verified account — usually linked to their Absher credentials.

In simple terms, instead of creating separate accounts for each government service, you can access everything using one login through Nafath.

How Does Nafath Work?

Nafath integrates with the Absher platform. When logging into a supported service, you’re redirected to Absher, where your identity is verified using your national ID or Iqama number, password, and a one-time verification code sent to your phone. Some services may also use facial recognition or OTP for added security.

Login Steps via Nafath:

1. Go to the website or app that supports Nafath login (e.g., GOSI, Najiz, Tawakkalna).
2. Choose “Login via National Unified Access”.
3. You’ll be redirected to the Absher login page.
4. Enter your Absher username and password.
5. Enter the verification code sent to your mobile.
6. You’ll be redirected back to the original service — logged in securely.

Key Platforms That Support Nafath:

• Najiz (Ministry of Justice)
• Tawakkalna
• Social Insurance (GOSI)
• Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development
• Sehhaty
• Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority
• Universities (like King Saud University, Imam University)
• Private sector services (including banks and apps)

Benefits of Nafath:

• 🔐 High Security: Your data is protected through multi-factor authentication.
• 🪪 Unified Digital Identity: One account for all services.
• ⚡ Convenience: No need to create multiple accounts or remember various passwords.
• 📱 Digital ID Support: Use your digital identity through the Tawakkalna app as an alternative to physical ID.

Final Thoughts

Nafath is not just a login method — it’s a core part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aiming to build a fully digital government and make life easier for individuals and businesses alike. If you haven’t used it yet, now is the time to explore it and experience seamless access to hundreds of services.
