Saudi Short Address Resolution API

Saudi customers may share a short address rather than a full written address. Tariq accepts Saudi short addresses as one of its location inputs, alongside map links, coordinates and text, so your application can handle these formats through the same API.

Accept the format your customer has

At checkout or in a service request, let the customer provide their Saudi short address without first copying it into several address fields. Your integration sends the input with the Saudi country context to the resolver. A code that has the expected format still needs to be resolved; format alone does not confirm the location.

Check the result before using coordinates

Treat the returned status and confidence as part of the workflow. If resolution succeeds, show the label and pin for customer review. If the result is uncertain or cannot be found, offer a map link or written address as another option. Do not treat every input as a verified destination.

From a short address to a useful workflow

Confirmed locations can be associated with an ecommerce order, a retail branch or a field-service visit in your own application. A short address does not replace delivery instructions, apartment information or any address documentation your business must collect.

Plan a Saudi integration with real examples

Test representative inputs from your service areas and inspect unsuccessful cases as well as successful ones. Discuss expected volume and provider coverage with the Tariq team. Tariq is a software product; it does not issue Saudi National Addresses or represent the issuing authority.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you get started

Is a short address the same as a complete delivery address?

It is a location input. Your business may still need building, unit, contact or delivery details for the order.

What if the short address cannot be resolved?

Prompt for another supported input, such as a map link or written address, and review the new result before using it.

Is Tariq the official National Address service?

No. Tariq provides maps and address resolution software. It does not issue National Addresses or claim to be the official issuing service.
