Saudi National Address (Wasel) is the standardized geocoding system run by Saudi Post for every building in the kingdom. Every address has a building number, street name, district, postal code, and a four-character short code (e.g., RUH2345). Registration is mandatory for individuals and businesses. Wasel underpins courier delivery, government correspondence, banking KYC, and emergency services. FI Tech operations require Saudi National Address registration for our Riyadh HQ and any field equipment shipping address; we also pull Wasel coordinates for project-site geofencing and sector-of-deployment categorization in our internal CRM and PDPL data inventories.
