Learn how to obtain the Tadawul Investor ID (NIN) required to open brokerage accounts and trade stocks in Saudi Arabia.
The Tadawul Investor ID, also known as a NIN, is a unique identification number used to participate in the Saudi Stock Exchange. This ID acts as your official registration within the trading system.
Who it's for
This scheme is for anyone looking to trade on the Saudi Stock Exchange. This includes both Saudi citizens and residents living in Saudi Arabia who want to engage in the local stock market.
What you get

What it costs you
The process is free of charge. To complete your application, you will need to provide your valid National ID or your valid Iqama to verify your identity.
