Do I Need a Permit to Install a Promotional Booth or LED Screen in Saudi Arabia?

If you're planning to install a promotional booth or a digital LED display in Saudi Arabia, you might be wondering:
Do I need official approval or a government permit?
The short answer is: Yes, in many cases, especially for public or commercial spaces.
When Is a Permit Required?
-
If the booth or screen is in a public space (such as a street, mall, or outdoor area):
You’ll need a permit from the municipality or local authority. -
If it's part of an event or exhibition:
The event organizer usually handles the permits, but it’s important to check in advance. -
If the screen is mounted outside your shop or on the building facade:
You’ll likely need a digital signage license that complies with city regulations (size, brightness, safety).
Typical Permit Requirements
-
Design and measurements of the booth or screen
-
A photo or sketch of the installation site
-
Property owner's approval (if you are renting the space)
-
Compliance with safety and technical standards

Can You Proceed Without a Permit?
If the project is inside a private property (e.g., villa, indoor showroom), you may not need a permit.
However, it’s always best to verify with local authorities to avoid fines or forced removal.
