The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has released official guidelines to support organizations in Saudi Arabia transitioning to the national domain name (.sa). The framework provides technical instructions designed to strengthen the Kingdom’s digital identity, improve the reliability of online services, and promote secure use of national digital resources.
The guide outlines multiple adoption strategies, including full migration, partial activation, or parallel use of the Saudi domain alongside existing domains. It applies to all entities and institutions operating in the Kingdom, covering websites, email, and other digital services.
CST noted that the initiative is part of its broader mission to empower Saudi Arabia’s communications and technology ecosystem. By providing regulatory and advisory tools, CST aims to ensure national entities operate within a secure, trusted digital environment that reflects the Kingdom’s identity while supporting its digital transformation goals.
