What is Qiwa?
Qiwa (قوى) is the Ministry of Human Resources (HRSD) platform for private-sector work. As an employee you use Qiwa Individuals to:
- View, accept and download your employment contract
- Accept a job transfer (sponsorship transfer) to a new employer
- Approve an occupation (profession) change
- Download your experience certificate
- Check your work status
Your employer uses a separate account, Qiwa Business.
Method 1: Qiwa login with Nafath
You must already have a Qiwa account (see “Register” below) and the Nafath app set up with your Absher login.
- Open sso.qiwa.sa and tap EN for English.
- Click Log in with Nafath.
- Enter your Iqama number and click Continue with Nafath.
- A number appears on the Qiwa screen. Open the Nafath app and tap the same number.
- Qiwa logs you in automatically.
Method 2: Qiwa login without Nafath (Iqama + password)
- Open sso.qiwa.sa.
- In Identity number or e-mail, enter your Iqama number (or the email on your Qiwa account).
- Enter your Qiwa password and click Log in.
- If Qiwa asks for a verification code, enter the code sent to your mobile number registered on Absher.
Forgot your password? Click I forgot my password, enter your Iqama number and follow the link or code sent to your Absher-registered mobile to set a new password.
How to register a new Qiwa account
- Open sso.qiwa.sa and click Register now.
- Enter your Iqama number and your date of birth (the form shows whether it wants Hijri or Gregorian).
- Verify with Nafath (or the code sent to your Absher mobile).
- Add your email and create a password.
You need an active Absher account first. New to Absher? See Register Absher Account Online.
Common Qiwa login problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No Nafath request / code not arriving | Check the mobile number on your Absher account. If your SIM is in your employer’s name, move it to your own Iqama at the operator (STC, Mobily, Zain). |
| ”Account not found” | You have not registered on Qiwa yet. Click Register now. |
| Wrong password / locked out | Use I forgot my password, or log in with Nafath instead. |
| Nafath app not working | Update the app, log in again with your Absher details, and check the date and time on your phone. |
| Contract not showing | Your employer has not issued it on Qiwa Business yet. Ask your HR or PRO. |
Still stuck? Call the HRSD unified number 19911.
Can I see my contract without logging in to Qiwa?
Not on Qiwa itself. Your options:
- Ask your employer’s HR/PRO to share it from Qiwa Business.
- Check your work status without any login on the free HRSD inquiry page. See Check Huroob Status on Iqama.
Note: Muqeem is an employer portal for Iqama and visa services. Employees cannot view their Qiwa contract there.
Tip: Once you log in, download your contract PDF and keep a copy. You will need it for job transfers, bank loans and labour complaints. Need a bank account for your salary? Check out SNB Neo (referral link).
