Hi,
I am also stuck in the same situation. Did your Date of birth rectified yet ? If yes please guide the procedure and how much time it took?

I have change name in passport and date of birth certificate
And almost it take 1 month to change it

how to change date of birth on iqama

its a lengthy process unfortunately and takes time.   I’m born in saudi and the date of birth on my iqama was written incorrectly by Jawazat system even though its correct on my birth certificate. I had to hire a saudi agent who took power of attorney from me (using najez portal) and then i went with him to jawazat. My first agent wasted my time because he didnt have enough connections inside. my second one took 1000 riyals and got the job done.  according to him he was an ex jawazat officer. he had many people who knew him from inside. well he prepared my file and took me inside. got it submitted. as per their system it can take months because first the file goes to riyadh for checking and then they update the system. this is such a shame as its not our fault in the first place. secondly a wrong birthdate gets printed even on your police certificates and that affects your credibility when applying for PR to any western country.

Fortunately I have 2 experience in this regard. First was for my son who needed it correct for his outside kingdom needs. In that case I went to Riyadh with some experienced friend & he submitted the file. Then I requested another friend connection to follow up. He never replied that he will help but within 2 week I got the job done.

2nd time my own iqama. Because COVID health certificate had incorrect date which I needed to carry during my trip to west. I requested my Moaqqab to go with me to Jawazat & I submitted file. Luckily within 2 weeks I got corrected. May be I m lucky
