Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Interior Allows Name Changes and Deletions of Family Names: New Regulations for First Names and Civil Status Law
The Ministry of Interior's Civil Affairs Agency has announced modifications to articles 40, 41, and 43 of the Civil Status Law's executive regulations.
These changes allow individuals over the age of 18 to change their first names or revert to previous ones, and permit the deletion of family, tribal, or second grandparent names from their civil registry records.
However, the name must still have a minimum of four parts.

Exceptions include completing a four-part name in the civil registry and correcting errors.
