New-look ID will be first issued to newborns: iGA

Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) Chief Executive Mohamed Ali AlQaed has stressed that the first pilot phase of issuing a new identity card (ID) will be – at present - limited to Bahraini newborns born.

The ID is issued in accordance with the legally approved fees of BD2 – meaning with no additional charges.

The launch is carried-out in phases for the issuance of other society segments comprising Bahraini citizens in the next phase during the upcoming weeks; followed by the final phase which includes residents throughout six months where the public will be notified at a later stage.
