Registration renewal for public transportation vehicles available online

The Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) has announced the launch of a new service allowing the owners of public transport vehicles such as taxis and tour buses to renew vehicle registrations online via National Portal bahrain.bh.

Launched in co-ordination with the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT) and the General Directorate of Traffic (GDT) and the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT), the service allows individuals and business owners to renew registrations of public transport vehicles via single transaction, as both MTT and GDT’s and MTT’s fees have been combined as one payment that doesn’t require separate reviews by each organisation, saving users’ time and effort.

iGA said that the service will differ depending on the type of user.

Business owners will need to enter Commercial Registration (CR) numbers and expiry dates, then the registration type (taxis, on-demand taxis, rental vehicles, public transport vehicles, vehicles for tourist transport, or vehicles for construction companies).

Individuals can renew their registrations by logging with their eKeys onto the “My Traffic Record” service either via the National Portal or through the traffic services application available at bahrain.bh/apps.

Accordingly, they can renew the registrations of several vehicles and pay traffic violations, if any, through a single transaction.

The move is in line with efforts to achieve digital transformation across all governmental sectors, and ease procedures for companies and individuals, according to iGA.

GDT provides a range of services through iGA’s eChannels such as access to traffic records, a contact details updating service, payment of traffic fines, renewals of registrations and licenses, and more.

These services are available 24 hours a day and can be accessed via personal computers, smartphones or self-service kiosks.

Citizens and residents can also submit their recommendations on these or any iGA service via the National Suggestion and Complaint System (Tawasul) to help the authority improve them in accordance with their needs.
