Manama: The Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB) has introduced an electronic title deed issuance service as part of ongoing government initiatives to enhance service quality and reengineer procedures. This digital service aims to facilitate access to title deeds, enhance the experience for beneficiaries, and support the comprehensive digital transformation pathway.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the new service allows customers to receive a secure electronic link via text message after completing land registration procedures and paying the necessary fees. This link enables users to view and download the title deed in an electronic format, eliminating the need for in-person attendance. The process, previously requiring one working day, is now automated and instantaneous, enhancing efficiency and saving time and effort.
The electronic title deed is secured with digital measures to ensure data integrity, making it reliable for use and acceptance by both governmental and private entities. Basim bin Yacob Al Hamer, President of the SLRB, emphasized that this service is part of the Bureau's strategy to adopt innovative digital solutions, facilitating real estate transactions and accelerating property ownership through a secure and integrated digital pathway.
The initiative reflects SLRB's commitment to developing services that reduce time and effort for institutions while enhancing operational effectiveness. The service's launch is aligned with the goal of achieving full electronic transformation and improving existing systems, thus accelerating procedures and raising performance efficiency.
As part of broader government efforts, over 1,300 government services have been documented and published, with around 800 services undergoing development and re-engineering. These efforts are informed by feedback through the National System for Suggestions and Complaints, Tawasul, investor feedback, and secret shopper reports, all aimed at improving procedural efficiency and supporting the government's digital transformation journey.
