[Other general considerations]:
To register a new domain you need to attach a copy of the official documents to prove the relationship between the required domain and the registered name by official documents, and the relationship to be verified. If domain is different from trademark or company name, you need to provide evidence of use of the term in order for the registry to verify that it contitutes a bona fide use. If registrant is an individual, only a local citizen can register a .sa with their first and last name (with a random number if other people with the same name).
