Huroob Check Online — Worker Status by Iqama Number

Enter your iqama number to check your huroob (absconding) status, work permit status and nitaqat colour instantly. This is a free HRSD / MOL inquiry — no account, no payment and no signup required.

What is a huroob check?

A huroob check (also called horof check, hurob check or worker status check) queries the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD / MOL) to confirm whether a worker is registered, what their visa and work permit status is, and whether they are recorded as absconding (huroob).

Employers and workers use it to verify a new employer before signing, to check an employment record, or to resolve a dispute about a missing iqama number.

How to check huroob status online

Enter your 10-digit iqama number, solve the captcha and submit. You immediately see the worker name, employer, visa status, work permit status and nitaqat colour. The lookup uses the same public HRSD inquiry that the MOL website uses, so results match.

If your iqama number is not yet issued, use the border-number check instead — it will return your iqama number first.

• HRSD border-number check — no iqama number yet? it finds your iqama number, then shows the same worker status
• Official HRSD inquiry on es.hrsd.gov.sa — the government portal this check runs on — open it to submit the worker status inquiry yourself

HRSD vs Absher vs Muqeem — which worker status check should I use?

There are three official ways to check a worker's labor status in Saudi Arabia. Only one of them needs an account. This page runs the HRSD non-Saudi employee inquiry, which is free and needs no Absher login.

HRSD / MOL non-Saudi employee inquiry (free, no account) is the most complete option: enter an iqama number, border number or passport number, solve the captcha, and you get worker status, huroob / absconding status, nitaqat color, facility evaluation and establishment licenses.

Absher can confirm your residency permit and iqama expiry, but you must sign in first, and it does not expose the establishment and license detail that the HRSD inquiry returns. If you do not have an Absher account, this page is the faster route.

Muqeem is a residency tracking platform that employers set up for their own employees. It answers whether a worker's residency permit is valid rather than the wider labor status question, so it is not a substitute for the HRSD inquiry.

Tasreeh and Jawazat services cover visa and residency document services such as passport malomat, airport print and iqama expiry queries — useful for document needs, but not for a huroob or worker status check.

In short: to check huroob status or worker status without Absher, use the HRSD inquiry. To check your residency permit expiry, Absher or Muqeem will also work.

What you need to check huroob

Only your iqama number. No passport copy, no employer details and no payment are required. Keep your iqama number private — anyone with it can run a status check.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check my worker status (huroob status) by Iqama number?

Select “Iqama” as the ID type, enter your 8–10 digit Iqama number, solve the captcha and click Check Now. Your worker status — including any huroob (absconding) report — plus Nitaqat color, facility evaluation and establishment licenses appear instantly, free of charge.

How do I find my Iqama number using my Border number?

Select “Border”, enter your border number and submit. The HRSD/MOL result shows the worker details linked to that border number, including the assigned Iqama (employee) number once one has been issued.

Can I check huroob status with a passport number?

Yes. Select “Passport”, enter your passport number, choose your nationality, solve the captcha and check — the same free HRSD/MOL worker-status result is returned.

Where does this huroob check information come from?

Directly from HRSD (Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development — mol.gov.sa). Results are fetched in real time from the official HRSD system to ensure accuracy.

Is the huroob / worker status check really free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup and no payment. Check by Iqama, border or passport number as often as you need.

What does the MOL / non-Saudi employee inquiry show?

Worker status (including huroob/absconding status), Nitaqat color, facility evaluation and rating, establishment licenses and sponsor details — the same data as a mol.gov.sa or moi.gov.sa iqama inquiry.

What is the difference between a border number and an Iqama number?

A border number is assigned when an expat worker enters Saudi Arabia; the Iqama number is the residency permit issued afterwards. You can enter either number in this free tool to check status and reveal the linked Iqama details.

Can I check huroob status without an Absher account?

Yes. This page runs the official HRSD non-Saudi employee inquiry, which needs no Absher login, no registration and no payment. Absher can also show your residency permit and iqama expiry, but you must sign in, and it does not return the establishment, license and nitaqat detail that the HRSD inquiry gives you.

What is the difference between the HRSD, Absher and Muqeem checks?

HRSD is the free government labor-status inquiry and returns worker status, huroob status, nitaqat color, facility evaluation and licenses without any account. Absher confirms residency permit and iqama expiry but requires a login. Muqeem is an employer-run residency tracking platform and only covers workers already set up on it.

What is my labor status and is my residency permit valid?

The check returns your job and labor status, whether an absence-from-work (huroob) report is registered, your nitaqat color, the establishment's evaluation and rating, and its licenses. Your residency permit validity is reflected in the visa and work permit status shown in the same result.

Is the worker status check really free?

Yes. Checking worker or huroob status by iqama, border or passport number is completely free and needs no registration.

What is the difference between horof check and huroob check?

They are the same service. “Horof” and “hurob” are common spelling variants of “huroob” used across the Gulf and South Asia.

Does the huroob check show my Nitaqat colour?

Yes. The result includes the visa status, work permit status and the Nitaqat (labour classification) colour of the establishment.

I do not know my iqama number yet. What can I do?

Use the HRSD border number check, which finds your iqama number from your border number first.

Can I check huroob status on the official HRSD government website?

Yes. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development runs the same inquiry on its own portal at https://es.hrsd.gov.sa/IndividualUser/BasicInfo.aspx — this page links directly to it. The result here is fetched from that same HRSD system, so both sources show identical worker status, huroob status, nitaqat colour and work permit details.
