Motorists would be able to print number plates within minutes at service centres and vehicle testing sites under a plan put forward by Northern Municipal Council member Mohammed Al Doseri.

Mr Al Doseri, who represents the third constituency, has called for a study into smart machines that would print vehicle plates after users finish the steps through approved state apps and pay the required fees online.

He said the move would cut repeat visits, shorten waits and make the service easier for citizens and residents.

The machines would be placed in government service centres and technical testing centres, allowing drivers to collect plates on site rather than return later or wait for manual handling.

Mr Al Doseri said similar services had worked in other Gulf states, where they had helped save time and ease strain on staff and users.

He added that the plan would make plate printing available round the clock, reduce pressure on service counters and support Bahrain’s shift towards online public services.
