Lost Iqama Replacement
Loss report and replacement of a lost or damaged iqama through Absher and Muqeem.
When an iqama is lost or damaged, the loss must be reported first, then a replacement is issued through Absher Business or Muqeem from the employer's account, after paying the government fees due. Until the replacement arrives, the resident can usually use the digital resident ID in the Absher app. Tasami follows the report and the replacement and explains what is needed at each step.

The request is usually made from the employer's or sponsor's account. We coordinate the needed permissions with you.
