Who uses .sa

• Pakistani exporters with a trademark registered in Saudi Arabia
• Pakistani-owned companies holding a Saudi commercial registration
• Businesses with an office or branch in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam
• Saudi nationals and Premium Residency holders of Pakistani origin
• Brands protecting their name in the Saudi market

Most Pakistani businesses will not qualify for .sa on a CNIC and an SECP certificate alone; the Saudi link has to be real and documented. A Sialkot surgical-goods exporter that has registered its brand as a trademark in Saudi Arabia, or a Karachi trading company with a Saudi commercial registration and an office in Jeddah, fits the SaudiNIC routes and gains an address Saudi buyers trust. We check your papers against those routes and confirm availability before you pay a rupee, and if you do not qualify we will tell you plainly and suggest .com or .pk instead.

Eligibility and rules

Who may register: Restricted. SaudiNIC's Registration Regulations (v5.0, Feb 2024, clause 4-1) allow only: an entity physically located in Saudi Arabia; a natural person with Saudi nationality or Premium Residency; an entity holding a registration or licence from a Saudi authority; or the owner of a trademark or trade name registered in Saudi Arabia. The administrative contact must be based in Saudi Arabia (clause 2-7), and .com.sa additionally needs a valid Saudi Commercial Registration (or equivalent) or a locally registered trade name or trademark (clause 4-3-2).

• Name rules: a .sa label is 2 to 63 characters using letters A-Z, digits 0-9 and the hyphen; it cannot start or end with a hyphen and cannot contain two hyphens in a row (Regulation clauses 2-11 and 9-1-1). Single letters, numbers of five digits or fewer, city, region and country names, religious terms and words such as 'Ministry', 'Saudi' or 'Bank' sit on the reserved list; a request for one is rejected automatically unless the name is first taken off the list through SaudiNIC's special procedure.
• IDN: .sa itself takes Latin (ASCII) labels only. Arabic-script names are registered under the separate Arabic extension .السعودية, which has its own label rules (Regulation clauses 2-12, 4-2 and 9-2).
• Name must relate to the registrant: SaudiNIC's relationship criteria accept a label that matches the registrant's name (or a valid abbreviation or derivation of it), a trademark the registrant owns, or a name with a close and substantial connection to its products, services, events or activities, which the registrant must explain. An individual registering a single first or family name must add at least one digit; two or more names joined together need none. The criteria are guidelines, not a right to a name, and SaudiNIC can re-check the relationship at any time after registration.
• Documents: the registrar collects the registrant's full name as it appears on official documents, national address, phone and email, plus proof of eligibility for a Saudi domain, proof of eligibility for the chosen extension, and proof of the link to the name. SaudiNIC can ask for more documents at any time; they must be uploaded in png, jpg, gif, tiff or pdf within the period SaudiNIC sets, and letters from international companies must be attested by a Saudi embassy (local companies by a chamber of commerce). Missing documents are grounds for suspension or deletion.
• Transfer lock: no registrar-to-registrar transfer in the first 60 days after registration or within 60 days of the last transfer, and none if the name expires within 5 days. A transfer needs an authorisation code from the current registrar and approval from the administrative contact, and it bundles a renewal of 1 to 10 years with no other transfer fee allowed. A change of registrant is allowed under Regulation clause 13, but SaudiNIC can refuse it without approval and documents from both sides.
• WHOIS privacy: the regulation states that certain registrant information is publicly accessible (clause 6-11) and offers no registry-level privacy. The Registrar Regulations list control over published WHOIS data only as an optional registrar service (Schedule 2-2), so it depends on the registrar used.
