Saudi allows any colour of veil for women’s ID photo
The Agency of the Ministry of Interior for Civil Status has resolved a controversy with regard to the colour of the veil (hijab) worn by Saudi women while taking personal photos for their national identity cards.
The agency emphasized that it is not mandatory for women to wear a certain colour of the veil in their personal photo to be used in their national ID.
The agency left it to the choice of a Saudi woman to wear any color that suits her while taking a personal photo to get her national identity card issued. The agency said that it takes a maximum of 14 days to issue the ID card.
