The University of Bahrain has enhanced its service for verifying externally issued documents as part of wider government efforts to improve and streamline public services, officials said.

The upgraded digital service allows local and international entities—including embassies, institutions and private companies—to verify the authenticity, validity and accuracy of university-issued certificates, transcripts and academic records through the national portal bahrain.bh.

Under the improved system, processing time for verification requests has been reduced from two working days to just one, while service level agreement timelines have been cut by at least 25 percent. Information related to the service has also been standardised across all official channels, aimed at improving efficiency and speeding up response times.

University of Bahrain President Dr Fouad Mohammed Al Ansari said the development reflects the institution’s broader strategy to advance digital services and strengthen trust in its official documents.

He added that the initiative also supports efforts to facilitate faster and more accurate verification processes for external organisations, while reinforcing cooperation with both local and international partners.
