What are the steps to change a car license plate?
You can submit an online request through the Absher platform. The vehicle must be registered in your name, have valid insurance, and all necessary fees should be paid. After logging into Absher, select "Vehicle Services," then "Vehicle Management," choose the desired vehicle, and select "Replace Vehicle Plates."

The process usually takes 5 to 7 business days.
