RIYADH — The Agency of the Ministry of Interior for Civil Affairs has proposed an amendment to Article 52 of the Civil Status Law aimed at updating regulations for reporting deaths to ensure broader system coverage.

According to the agency, the draft amendment — published on the “Istitlaa” platform for public feedback before final approval — is intended to improve the quality of civil registry data, support government decision-making, and deliver more integrated and efficient services to beneficiaries.

The proposed changes include making it mandatory to report the deaths of resident expatriates who are married to Saudi citizens.

This measure seeks to strengthen record completeness and ensure that official statistics reflect all relevant cases.
