A recent graduate from university?… Got married, or divorced? Shifted homes?.. Update your details with the essential service ‘Updating of ID Cards’ that enables citizens and residents to update their personal details in order to receive services from government and private entities with ease.
The Information & eGovernment Authority encourages Bahrainis and non-Bahrainis alike to regularly update their information within their identity card chips immediately after a change of martial, residential, occupational, personal or academic status such as home address, job position or employer, transitioning from a student to an employee as well as renewal of passport, etc. As for expats, change of sponsor or visa residency also require updating of the identity card chip.

Card holders are also advised to keep their cards safe from any damage as they are considered an official document.
