University of Bahrain launches upgraded digital verification service

The University of Bahrain has introduced an enhanced digital service allowing institutions in Bahrain and abroad to instantly track the status of document verification requests, as part of wider government efforts to improve and streamline public services.

The upgraded “verification request status inquiry” service enables beneficiaries, including embassies, companies and overseas organisations, to monitor the authentication of university-issued documents such as certificates, transcripts and academic statements. The updates can now be accessed electronically through the national portal bahrain.bh, improving transparency and ease of access.

Under the new system, processing time has been reduced from two working days to an immediate automated response. The service has also been fully digitised, cutting service level agreement requirements by at least 25%, reducing application steps to a maximum of four, and improving the user interface to simplify the process.

University officials said the redesign aims to strengthen efficiency and ensure faster delivery of services to stakeholders while maintaining accuracy and reliability in verification procedures.

University of Bahrain President Dr Fawouzi Mohammed Al Ansari said the initiative reflects the institution’s commitment to adopting innovative digital solutions aligned with Bahrain’s wider government transformation strategy.
