Municipalities Ministry Launches Home Delivery Permit Service, Effective July 2025

The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has launched the ‘Home Delivery Permit’ service for food and non-food delivery establishments via the Balady platform. This initiative supports ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life and elevate safety and compliance standards within the delivery sector across the Kingdom.

 The delivery service aims to regulate delivery operations within cities by ensuring establishments comply with health and technical requirements, thereby contributing to a safe and efficient environment that enhances consumer confidence.

 The requirements for the permit include obtaining a health certificate for all home delivery service workers, securing approval from the authority supervising the commercial activity, clearly displaying the establishment’s name or trademark on delivery vehicles, and ensuring these vehicles comply with the technical and health standards necessary for safe product transportation.

 The ministry explained that mandatory enforcement of license issuance will begin on July 1, 2025. Municipalities will carry out field inspections to ensure compliance and will take regulatory action against violators. Business owners can apply for the home delivery permit through the Balady platform by visiting: https://balady.gov.sa/en/services/issue-home-delivery-permit.

 This initiative is part of the ministry’s broader efforts to develop the regulatory framework for the services sector and to ensure the provision of safe delivery services, in line with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
