How to book the Baladiya test and what to bring

Updated: 2026-11-04

Before you can sit the test you must meet a few simple conditions. Check them first — without the right ID, the supervisor can stop you at the door.

Who can take the test

• You have a valid ID: Saudi national ID, iqama, or passport with a work visa.
• You are medically fit, with an approved medical report that is valid for 3 months.
• You work in a licensed establishment.
• Before the test you read the approved study package or completed approved training at a licensed centre.

How registration works

1. Register at a test centre reception or online on the test centre website (arkkanapp.net).
2. Your request is checked. Then you pay the test fee — it is shown during registration.
3. You get a receipt with your test date and time.
4. You agree to the test rules before the test.

What to bring on the day

• Your ID: national ID, iqama, or passport with work visa. Government apps on your phone, such as Absher or Tawakkalna, are also accepted.
• Your receipt with the test time.
• Come early. Do not bring notes; you may not copy or photograph anything.

Where are the test centres?

There are test centres in all major cities of Saudi Arabia. You choose the place when you register.
