About the .SA domain
What is the .SA domain?
Access to the registry is limited to four categories of applicants: entities with physical presence within Saudi Arabia; individuals of Saudi nationality or holders of Premium Residency; entities with a registration or license issued by a competent Saudi authority; or holders of a trademark or trade name registered in the country. The .com.sa subdomain, intended specifically for entities engaged in commercial activity, additionally requires a valid Commercial Registration issued by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) or an equivalent document, along with an administrative contact — such as the general manager or IT department head — who must be physically located in Saudi Arabia. Registration is managed exclusively through licensed registrars, for periods of 1 to 10 years; if the requested name appears on the special or reserved TLD list, SaudiNIC reviews the request within 2 business days.
