REGA Ad License Guide 2026: Steps to Avoid the SR200,000 Fine and Check a Saudi Real Estate Broker’s License on the Fal Platform

The Real Estate General Authority in Saudi Arabia is stepping up its efforts regarding compliance with the obligations under the Real Estate Brokerage Law, thereby holding brokers, property owners, and digital platforms carrying out property advertisements to greater accountabilities.

A person who invests in real estate marketing and brokerage, real estate license and real estate advertising permits are an absolute must. Failure to comply may lead to severe acts of punishment such as suspension of business, cancellation of license and fines up to SR 200,000 are imposed.

Get the FAL License Before Advertising

The first step to be a real estate practitioner is to secure his FAL Brokerage & Marketing License. There is no cost per user (SR300 per year) or per company (SR1000 per year) as indicated in the provided data.

Unfortunately, having a FAL license does not mean that all property ads are valid. Individual listings also have their own list of advertising requirements to be abided by by practitioners.

Secure an Ad License for Every Property

The Real Estate Ad License provided must be used on individual property listings as outlined. The permit has a fee of SR50 per advertisement and needs to be tied up to an approved brokerage agreement on the Fal platform.

This requirement extends to Real Estate ads distributed online and other ads. Practitioners should make sure that the proper permit is acquired before publishing a listing is released.

Display the Required License Details

Real estate advertisements need to be completely identified and contain appropriate official license and advertising number of the licensed party. Whether it’s social media, listing sites, billboards and/or physical signs, these identifiers will be visible.

Prospective buyers and tenants can now tell if an ad is connected with an authorized real estate practitioner by seeing the clear identification.

Verify Property Information Before Publishing

Another compliance task is due diligence. As a broker, be sure to ascertain information about ownership, property deed, and property limitations with the property owner before advertising.

Misleading or unverifiable information about properties where this information exists, introduces regulatory risks. Correct correlations of listing details with official property documentation are consequently a part of compliant advertisement.

How to Check a Broker on the Fal Platform?

The electronic services offered by REGA allow buyers, tenants, and property owners to verify real estate’s credentials. Within the Aqari/Fal portal or the electronic real estate brokerage services provided by REGA, choose the inquiry service.

Select one of the choices to ask about a residential broker and type an identifier number. The search is possible by using FAL number, brokerage contract number, property ownership document number or advertisement license number.

The information can then be checked to ensure the broker is licensed and permitted to conduct those activities. Using a FAL license is a good check before buying and selling a home or hiring a broker.
