Address Certificate for CPR

Post new topic

XpatBH

Hi!


Recently moved to Bahrain and got stuck in between realtor, property manager and landlord.


I moved into an apartment with all-inclusive agreement (electricity + municipality tax) through a realtor.


Unfortunately, the landlord does not have a CPR because he is a foreign national residing in a foreign country. And he has not transferred the EWA on his name yet. Neither has the flat been registered with municipality (does not show up on LMRA website).


The property manager does not want to involve himself into the mix and advises to contact the landlord through the realtor. The landlord can not be reached since he is in a foreign country.


Is there a way I can get the address certificate for my CPR? Or is it better to move to another apartment? I have already signed a one-year lease agreement with the property manager. The lease agreement mentions that the Municipality Tax shall be paid by the landlord.


Any suggestion would be helpful.

XTang

Does the landlord have the title deed under his name?    whose name is EWA under currently?


But looking at the complications, it is probably better to move apartments.

XpatBH

Xtang, I was hoping you would reply. You have been a great help to many on this forum. Thank you for your service.

The deed is under the landlord's name; however, EWA is under the company which constructed the building.


Facing the complications, I have the urge to move out. But alas! I signed the agreement thinking that the landlord would be cooperative.

XTang

So try to talk to the developer directly (not property manager) and tell them the situation.    They would probably be paying the EWA on behalf of the landlord and / or have some arrangement with him.   


Easiest would be to try and get the EWA transferred in your name and deduct the EWA payments from monthly rental.   This is by far the simplest way to go about it.   A more complicated way would be to sign a lease agreement with the landlord, show his agreement with the property manager and get a letter from the developer taking responsibility for EWA.

XpatBH

Maybe I can try to get EWA under my name.


But what after that? How do I proceed? Where should I head to get the address proof or CPR? The online website says it is mandatory to submit landlord's CPR.

XTang

Landlord cpr for municipality certificate.  For cpr you need municipality certkgicad

Hi,

I hope you could reply and help me related to this issue. For me I got the address certificate from the municipality and shared it with the employer as they were supposed to apply for CPR. But then they told me that on LMRA website the adress is not found and it is giving an error as "PL007 adress not found'. Why do you think this is happening??


As I have the address certificate from the municipality, how come it is not found on the LMRA website. As you know now CPR got stucked because of this as they cannot complete the applcation/submission etc on lmra website. Can you please help me what can be the solution urgently. Thank you very much in advance Xtang!

XTang

Ask them to raise a ticket with lmra support attaching the municipality certificate.  Seems to be an issue at lmra end.

@XTang

Thank you Xtang for your reply. So you think it is not a serious issue right as I got the official address certificate from the capital municipality. Because I got very worried after reading the earlier posts that somebody had to move as the flat was not registered at all. So you think because I have the address certificate, it can be solved without me need to move??

XTang

Raise a ticket and let them respond.

cinemasevda

I cannot raise a ticket myself as I have no CPR yet. On this website, you need to login with e-key (https://esupport.lmra.gov.bh) Is there a way to register for e-key without CPR or do you know a way to login to this system with my (temporary) Cpr number from LMRA. In the video they say that you can login with the expiry number of your passport but it does not work...

XTang

I already told you. Your employer needs to raise the ticket. You can't do it yourself.

@XpatBH


Hi, were you able to get this sorted out and how? I am also having a similar problem as the address not appearing on Lmra as well...

cinemasevda

@XTang

I got address issue fixed now my address is registered with LMRA but I still could not get (first time) CPR due to my fingerprints issue. When I did the fingerprints, they were not able to capture as their machines definitely have problems because I lived in Europe before had no issue. But anyway my fingerprints do not work and I cannot replace them obviously. What is the solution in this case? Where can I go to get this problem solved. If I go to by myself Isa Town IGA Fast Track, would it work without the employer?? Please help

XTang

Yes go to isa town fast track.  But you also need to redo enrollment in LMRA and your employer needs to help with it.

Address certificate cannot be taken from mun.gov.bh. i have been clicking here and there.. but it doesnt take me to the portal where i should upload lease registration and other details.


The portal "without login" does not have address certificate for CPR option anymore.

logicalindian

Looks like there is a change in the login process, somone else also raised this issue. I guess we need to wait till they fix it.

@SulaiTK

Hi, I followed this path and now in "waiting for payment" status. Where can I make the payament of 5 BD?

Rehan@12

I had company accomodation, but now i left the company and the accomodation too , now I'm living in a local rental place and my cpr is registered on previous company address, what address should i update now ? And what happens if i don't update it ?

XTang

Nothing happens until or unless you need to renew your CPR.  At that time, you will need to provide proof of address. 

Rehan@12

@XTang okay thanks for the help.

Hi, this 'waiting for payment' status will automatically move to next one or do we have to make payments here ? I did not receive any email or notification asking for payment.

Abul Rusafeed

@yasara1993


Hi, how did it went ? you paid something at 'waiting for payment' status ? or it automatically moved to next status ?

XTang

You have to pay after adding the request.  It is literally the next page.  You won't get a separate email.   Go back into the system, delete the request or add a new one and follow the sequence to pay.

You will need a municipality/address certificate to update it if you don't have a EWA bill under your name.

Call on hotline and see what they recommend :80008001

@logicalindian

For dependents first time cpr application, I have received a municipality address certificate and asked my hr to update same under my cpr address. He tried to add on lmra website but everything seems same except flat number which is missing. Do anyone have idea why it is missing and how we can resolve it???

Also if flat number under my cpr address is missing but is mentioned in municipality address can I apply the cpr for my wife? And which address she'll get the one with flat number or the one without?

logicalindian

You must visit in person to get it fixed, read the discussion in my previous response.

SulaiTK

@Abul Rusafeed

For payments for address certificate, click on 3dots menu and click payments. Enter application number and see if its shows an amount to be paid. Then, you can pay the amount.

@Syed Salman33

Address not found means, go to ekiosk and update your fingerprint. Or create advanced ekey at ekiosk by registeing the fingerprint. Then address can be updated.
