Configuring option to display both Hijri and Gregorian calendars

Certain dates in Middle East government documents use dates from the Hijri calendar, such as the passport issue date and expiry date of Saudi nationals.

Use this procedure to configure the ability to select dates in Hijri when creating or updating travel documents, identification numbers, and alternate identification numbers or to view the equivalent date on the Gregorian calendar.
