Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has announced a new initiative that mandates home delivery permits for all food and non-food delivery businesses starting from July 1, 2025. The permits will be issued via the official Balady platform.
The initiative is part of the Kingdom’s broader efforts to enhance the quality of life, ensure safety in the delivery sector, and strengthen consumer trust by enforcing strict standards. Businesses will need to comply with specific health and technical requirements to operate legally within city limits.
Key permit requirements include:
All delivery workers must hold valid health certifications.
Businesses must be registered and approved by the relevant commercial authority.
Delivery vehicles must clearly display the company’s name or brand.
Vehicles must meet technical and hygiene standards to ensure safe transportation of goods.
The ministry will conduct field inspections to ensure compliance, and legal action will be taken against violators. Business owners can apply for the home delivery permit directly through the Balady platform.
This regulatory step aims to organize and improve service efficiency, creating a safer and more reliable delivery environment for consumers across the Kingdom.
