Manama, Aug. 22 (BNA): In cooperation with the Bahrain Post, the Central Informatics Organisation (CIO) has inaugurated a new service under which identity cards are delivered to the addresses specified by applicants.

The service is in line with CIO’s keenness on upgrading its services in a way that saves time and efforts for the beneficiaries.

The inauguration of the new service is based on CIO’s conviction that achieving the customers’ satisfaction is the only success indicator, CIO President Dr. Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Amer said, noting that the move is in line with the directives of the Interior Minister Lieutenant-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa on ensuring easy transactions for the beneficiaries of CIO services.

The service is within the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between CIO and the Bahrain Post to deliver identity cards to the address specified by the applicant while filling in the application form online, Al-Amer added.

The service is optional as applicants will have to choose either to report personally to CIO or receive their identity cards at the address they specify. In case they choose the second, they will have to select “post” and then provide delivery information regarding the name, address and telephone number of the recipient.
