BeAware Bahrain Mobile App Converted to ‘Digital Wallet’

The Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) has released an updated version of the BeAware Bahrain mobile app.

It is part of plans to convert the app into a digital wallet where each individual’s key personal documents will be stored electronically.

The implementation of the project was made possible through continuous development services and providing a high-readiness ICT infrastructure and e-Channels that are beneficial to the citizens and residents.

The all-in-one app will store e-copies of a CPR, passport, birth certificate and driver’s license, along with car ownership documents.

They will be officially recognised ‘everywhere’ as a replacement for paper copies, as well as adding a feature related to health, My Medical Appointments and My Health Cards.

The My Health Cards feature includes details and information related to the Covid-19 vaccination record, as well as several other additional features that individuals use daily and are a priority for them.

iGA Chief Executive Mohamed Ali Al Qaed said that with the continuous support and directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the Authority has implemented the Kingdom’s e-Transformation plans in partnership with the public entities.

“Official bodies are now obligated to accept e-documents.
