Important update: National address now required for all deliveries

Campus and Community (C&C) would like to share an important update from the General Transport Authority of Saudi Arabia (GTA) that affects all deliveries across the Kingdom. 

Under the new national regulations, all residents, citizens, and businesses must use their official National Address for every shipment coming into, within, or across Saudi Arabia. 

What’s changing 

Starting January 1, 2026, UPS will no longer accept shipments that do not include the recipient’s official National Address in the correct format. This applies to both personal and business deliveries. 

To avoid shipment delays, rejected packages, or returned items, we strongly encourage everyone to take action now. 

Before placing any order or preparing a shipment, please:  

  • Verify the recipient’s full and accurate national address 
  • Include the new short address code along with the complete national address on the waybill or shipping label. 

For more details, please refer to the following resources: 

We encourage all community members to update their shipping details as soon as possible to ensure smooth, reliable, and uninterrupted delivery services across campus and beyond.
