It requires proper contract registration, also known as \u201cAqd.\u201d The word Aqd means \u201ccontract\u201d in Arabic and holds significant legal value, especially in employment contexts. Similar to the Islamic concept of ijab (offer) and qabul (acceptance), an employment aqd is not just a formality. Your Aqd contract is a binding agreement with your employer. If it\u2019s not registered, your job may not be recognized by the HRSD, which can affect your iqama, visa, and other related documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, checking your Aqd status is straightforward. This blog will walk you through how to verify your employment contract via Qiwa and Absher, and what steps to take if it isn\u2019t registered, especially important for new hires (within 90 days), expats, and Saudi nationals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Check Aqd Contract Registration: Step-by-Step<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/snabup-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30114824\/AD_4nXfF6o7umTGUXXUmHz7MffgKsq5t38Z7vCe4TriIZiKPGYjGTmxtnjNCZk8ko1DHhMHZpy4R73xgoWvN6DOlj2KI38FG87G3OAa8UaIQq5XgKIZOPABK9O5gVIVscDy6gt-2g2EAXA.jpg\" alt=\"Aqd Contract Registration Platforms\" class=\"wp-image-3824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snabup-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30114824\/AD_4nXfF6o7umTGUXXUmHz7MffgKsq5t38Z7vCe4TriIZiKPGYjGTmxtnjNCZk8ko1DHhMHZpy4R73xgoWvN6DOlj2KI38FG87G3OAa8UaIQq5XgKIZOPABK9O5gVIVscDy6gt-2g2EAXA.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/snabup-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30114824\/AD_4nXfF6o7umTGUXXUmHz7MffgKsq5t38Z7vCe4TriIZiKPGYjGTmxtnjNCZk8ko1DHhMHZpy4R73xgoWvN6DOlj2KI38FG87G3OAa8UaIQq5XgKIZOPABK9O5gVIVscDy6gt-2g2EAXA-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/snabup-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30114824\/AD_4nXfF6o7umTGUXXUmHz7MffgKsq5t38Z7vCe4TriIZiKPGYjGTmxtnjNCZk8ko1DHhMHZpy4R73xgoWvN6DOlj2KI38FG87G3OAa8UaIQq5XgKIZOPABK9O5gVIVscDy6gt-2g2EAXA-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On Qiwa (Employee Portal)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Qiwa platform is the official employment services system in Saudi Arabia.
