How the passport number format works
- Format
- 6-9 alphanumeric characters (intentionally permissive — see gotchas)
- Example
- A1234567
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the passport was actually issued, is unexpired, or is currently valid
- Sources on Saudi Arabia's exact passport-number structure conflict (variously described as 1 letter + 6 digits, a fixed "Z" prefix + 8 digits, or plain 8 digits) with no authoritative source resolving the disagreement — this check intentionally uses a wide, honest range rather than false precision. Treat this record as the lowest-confidence one in the family.
- Validation runs entirely in your browser — the number you enter is never transmitted or stored
^[A-Z0-9]{6,9}$A Saudi Arabian passport number is 6 to 9 alphanumeric characters, e.g. A1234567, issued by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) under Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior. This is the lowest-confidence format in this entire passport family: available public sources genuinely conflict on the exact structure, variously describing it as 1 letter plus 6 digits, a fixed “Z” prefix plus 8 digits, or plain 8 digits, with no single authoritative source resolving which is correct.
What this checker verifies
This tool confirms the input is 6 to 9 alphanumeric characters, deliberately wide to avoid rejecting a genuine passport number just because one particular source’s narrower claim doesn’t match it.
What a pass doesn’t confirm
Given the conflicting sources, a pass here confirms even less than most other countries in this list — essentially that the length and character set are plausible, nothing more precise. A pass doesn’t confirm the Jawazat actually issued that number, that the passport is unexpired, or that it belongs to a real holder, and nothing you type is decoded or stored.
Scope: format-only validation, running entirely in your browser — deliberately permissive given the conflicting public documentation.

passport number FAQ
What does a Saudi Arabian passport number look like?
6 to 9 alphanumeric characters, e.g. A1234567, issued by the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat), Ministry of Interior. This checker uses an intentionally wide range rather than one fixed shape.
Why isn't this checker more specific about the format?
Public sources on Saudi Arabia's exact passport-number structure conflict with each other — some describe 1 letter plus 6 digits, others a fixed "Z" prefix plus 8 digits, others plain 8 digits — with no single authoritative source resolving the disagreement, so this checker uses a wide, honest range instead of guessing.
Does a valid format confirm the passport is real?
No. It only checks the general shape. Confirming the passport was actually issued or is currently valid requires the Jawazat's own records.
