Dear Forum Members,
Assalam o Alaikum
I have recently received my first iqama after landing in the KSA. I've read and heart a lot about issues arising out of difference/spelling mistake in name printed on iqama. My case is such that the characters/letters in my name in English including spaces is 44. The name mentioned on my Iqama mentions my name in full but mentions name of father only partially. When I asked my colleagues at relevant department ( i think they are called mandoobs), they have told me that maximum allowed letters in name are 29 but since the name mentioned on Iqama is 33 letters including spaces, I am not sure if that is correct.
Also, the name written in Arabic is correct and includes my full name and also that of my father.
I need to know (a) if the character limit is true and (b) what should i do as I don't want any issues later when I need to open bank account, change my iqama profession and call my family here.
Thanks and Jazaak Allah in advance for the help.
Best Regards
