# Saudi Arabia digital administrative transformation > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/saudi-arabia-digital-administrative-transformation > Updated: 2026-09-07T23:00:37.000Z. Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Saudi Arabia is undergoing a significant digital transformation of its administrative and civil services. The Absher electronic platform, managed by the Ministry of Interior, reported over 240 million transactions in the first half of 2026, with the Absher Individuals platform accounting for approximately 225 million of those transactions. These services cover critical areas such as traffic management, passports, and civil affairs. This digital evolution represents a long-term shift from manual, handwritten records to advanced electronic systems. Historically, passport and civil status sectors were managed under the Public Security Directorate before being split into independent administrative bodies. The current integration of modern technologies and electronic linking aims to reduce transaction times and minimize in-person visits, aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to improve government efficiency and quality of life. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Saudi Arabia transforms passport and civil status services through digital evolution Saudi Arabia's passport and civil status services have transitioned from manual handwritten records to integrated digital platforms, supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/saudi-arabia-transforms-passport-and-civil-status-services-through-digital-evolution ### 2026-09-01: Absher platform and Jordan census prepare for major 2026 milestones Saudi Arabia's Absher platform completed 240 million transactions in early 2026, while Jordan prepares for its 2026 national census using AI and digital self-enumeration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/absher-platform-and-jordan-census-prepare-for-major-2026-milestones --- Cite as: Saudi Arabia digital administrative transformation.
