You can find the vehicle customs card number in Saudi Arabia in three main ways: from the paper or digital card copy you received when purchasing the vehicle, through the Absher platform using the customs card display service, or through the services of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority linked to the customs declaration. The card number usually appears at the top left of the customs card document and is used for several important procedures, such as insurance, documenting vehicle data, and following up on import-related transactions.<\/p>\n

If the vehicle was purchased from a dealership or showroom, start by checking the file provided to you at the time of purchase, as the customs card is usually included among the vehicle\u2019s essential documents. If you cannot find the paper copy or urgently need the number, the fastest solution is to use the official electronic channels.<\/p>\n

Fastest Way to Find the Customs Card Number<\/h2>\n

The fastest way is to open the paper customs card or the digital copy you received from the dealership, showroom, or entity that completed the vehicle import procedures. Look at the upper section of the document, usually specifically in the upper-left corner, where the card number is listed among the main details.<\/p>\n

If you keep the documents electronically, check the email or messages you received when purchasing the vehicle, or the files saved on your phone. The document may be in PDF format within the purchase contract or vehicle delivery documents.<\/p>\n

What Should You Look for Inside the Document?<\/h3>\n

When opening the customs card, do not rely only on the color or appearance of the document. Instead, look for the clearly written identification fields. You will usually find details related to the vehicle and its procedures, including the customs card number. Check the number carefully before copying it, as entering another number, such as the chassis number or customs declaration number, may prevent you from completing the required service.<\/p>\n

Finding the Customs Card Number Through Absher<\/h2>\n

Finding the customs card number through Absher<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Absher platform provides a service that allows you to view the vehicle\u2019s digital customs card. This is a suitable method if you do not have the paper copy or want to access the card details through your online account.<\/p>\n

Steps to View the Customs Card in Absher<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your account on the Absher platform.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to the My Services<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n
  3. Select Traffic<\/strong> services.<\/li>\n
  4. Select the View Customs Card<\/strong> service.<\/li>\n
  5. Select the required vehicle if more than one vehicle appears in your account.<\/li>\n
  6. Review the displayed customs card details, and save or record the number exactly as shown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When using the service, it is preferable to match the displayed vehicle details with your car, especially the plate number or chassis number, before relying on the card number. This step is important for anyone who owns more than one car or is dealing with a recently transferred vehicle.<\/p>\n

    When Is Absher the Best Option?<\/h3>\n

    Absher is a practical option when the vehicle is linked to your account and you need to view the card without returning to the showroom or searching through paperwork. It is also suitable when an insurance company requests the customs card details or when you want to keep a digital copy of the information instead of using the paper document each time.<\/p>\n

    Inquiry Through the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority<\/h2>\n
    \"Inquiry
    Inquiry through the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The electronic services of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority can be used when you need to verify customs clearance procedures or inquire about the customs declaration associated with the vehicle or shipment. The inquiry may depend on the chassis number or shipment details, depending on the type of service and the status of the transaction.<\/p>\n

    This method is more suitable in cases involving direct importation, when dealing with a vehicle whose registration procedures have not yet been completed, or when you need to review customs details related to the vehicle before it moves to another stage of the procedures.<\/p>\n

    Difference Between Inquiring About the Customs Declaration and the Card Number<\/h3>\n

    The customs declaration is a record related to the shipment\u2019s entry and customs clearance procedures, while the customs card is a document associated with the vehicle after completing the required procedures. Therefore, you may need the chassis number or shipment details to access the customs record, and then use the resulting information to verify the vehicle\u2019s status or review its documents.<\/p>\n

    If your only goal is to find the card number required for an insurance service or a vehicle-related transaction, start with the card itself or the Absher service. If the issue concerns customs clearance, importation, or the absence of the card from the vehicle documents, the Authority\u2019s services are more relevant to the situation.<\/p>\n

    What Is the Vehicle Customs Card Number?<\/h2>\n

    The customs card number is a reference number associated with the customs card for a vehicle imported into the Kingdom. The card contains information that helps verify the vehicle and confirm that its customs procedures have been completed. Therefore, you may need its number when performing certain services, especially when issuing or renewing vehicle insurance in some cases.<\/p>\n

    It is important not to confuse the customs card number with the chassis number. The chassis number is the vehicle\u2019s unique identification number<\/a>, also known as the chassis number or VIN, while the customs card number belongs specifically to the customs document itself. Both numbers may appear on the same document, but each serves a different purpose.<\/p>\n

    Where Is the Customs Card Number on the Vehicle Document?<\/h2>\n

    The customs card number is usually located at the top left of the card document. However, it is better to read the label accompanying the number rather than relying only on its location, because the document design or field order may differ between digital and paper documents.<\/p>\n

    Do not confuse the following numbers when reviewing the document:<\/p>\n
