How to Login to Qiwa: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Qiwa is the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development’s digital labor platform, used by employers and employees across Saudi Arabia to manage contracts, work permits, transfers, and a wide range of workforce-related transactions. Since Qiwa now handles so much of the employment relationship digitally, being able to log in reliably is the first step to using nearly every other service on the platform. This guide covers how to log in to Qiwa as both an individual and an establishment user.

Who Uses Qiwa and Why Login Matters

Qiwa serves two main types of users: establishments, meaning employers and their authorized HR or government relations staff, and individuals, meaning employees checking their own contract details, job offers, or transfer requests. The login process differs slightly depending on which type of account you are accessing.

What You Need Before Logging In

A national ID (Saudi citizens) or Iqama number (residents)
An active Nafath app set up on your phone, since Qiwa uses Nafath for identity verification
For establishment accounts, the commercial registration number linked to the business
A stable internet connection and an updated browser

Step-by-Step: How to Login to Qiwa as an Individual

Go to the official Qiwa website and select the individual login option.
Enter your national ID or Iqama number.
Confirm the login request through your Nafath app by matching the two-digit code shown on both screens.
Once verified, you will be redirected to your personal Qiwa dashboard showing your contracts, job offers, and transfer requests.

Step-by-Step: How to Login to Qiwa as an Establishment

Go to the Qiwa website and select the business or establishment login option.
Enter the authorized representative’s national ID or Iqama number.
Select the correct establishment if your account is linked to more than one commercial registration.
Complete Nafath verification to confirm your identity.
Access the establishment dashboard to manage employees, contracts, and other services.

Switching Between Multiple Establishments

If you manage more than one company or are an authorized user for several establishments, Qiwa allows you to switch between them after logging in rather than requiring separate accounts for each. Look for the establishment selector, usually located near your profile name, to move between different company dashboards.

Why Nafath Verification Is Required

Qiwa relies on Nafath rather than a traditional password for security reasons, ensuring that sensitive employment and payroll actions can only be authorized by someone with verified access to the registered identity and device. If you have not yet set up Nafath, you will need to complete that registration first before you can log in to Qiwa at all.

Common Login Issues

Nafath verification not arriving: check your phone’s notification settings and internet connection.
Wrong account type selected: make sure you are choosing individual or establishment login correctly based on what you are trying to access.
Establishment not listed: this may indicate the authorized user has not yet been properly linked to that commercial registration in the system.
Session expiring quickly: this is a standard security feature on government platforms, so simply log in again if you have been inactive for a while.

Tips for a Smooth Qiwa Login Experience

Keep your Nafath app updated and your phone’s notifications enabled.
Bookmark the official Qiwa domain to avoid phishing sites imitating the login page.
If you manage a business, make sure all authorized HR staff have their own linked accounts rather than sharing one login.
