Address Certificate for CPR - New Online process Query

Post new topic

Neemish

You can order only a duplicate CPR. Try to order by entering the same which you have updated in the system. If it mentions that you need to update it via counter before ordering then, you will have to do the update manually. If there are no errors. Please complete the payment and it will be dispatched to you.

Hi. Just a query, my agent has submitted my application together with my municipality certificate. How long does it take to process the cpr? Sadly, it's been three weeks and still no update. How would i know if my application is denied or okay? Thanks everyone.

You have not specified whether it is an employee CPR or dependent CPR. Assuming it is Dependent CPR.

Also for Dependent CPR Agent is not required.

Dependent CPR
1) Your agent needs to get an appointment. It is very hard to get an appointment. Appointments are filled in minutes.
2) Once the agent gets the appointment he will submit all the documents with the passport copy and photo and the CPR is ready in 5-15 minutes. He needs to pay 10 BHD for CPR, If Chip Update - 1 BHD


Alternative way
1) Come to CPR Office in Isatown at 7.30 take the fast track counter ticket.
2) Submit the documents with the passport and photo and address proof and get the CPR Instant.

They will charge 20 BHD - 10 BHD for CPR and 10 BHD for choosing the Fast track option. There is no option for chip updates with the current card. They will issue a new card with the updated details.

Hi. I forgot to mention. I'm on a investor visa. Is it the same with the employee CPR or different? It's just taking too long and my cpr is already expired. Thanks for the reply.

Investor Visa CPR
1) Your agent needs to get an appointment. It is very hard to get an appointment. Appointments are filled in minutes.
2) Once the agent gets the appointment he will submit all the documents with the passport copy, address proof and photo and the CPR is ready in 5-15 minutes. He needs to pay 10 BHD for CPR, If Chip Update - 1 BHD.

You do not need an agent for CPR, Residency permit stamping in the passport as well if you are the investor.

You need to carry your husbands CPR and Passport. The address mentioned in the certificate should be updated in your husbands CPR Chip. You will also need to carry an attested Marriage certificate.

Earlier they never asked Marriage Certificate. Now they are asking for an attested Marriage Certificate and I forgot to mention Passport size Photo with a White / Grey Background.

Hello, can I ask how can I renew a dependent CPR (child) and what are the requirements needed? Both parents CPR has been renewed with new address. Do we still need to submit all the required docs (municipality cert., lease agreement etc.) to renew the child’s CPR?

Try to do it online. If it doesn't work then you need to do manually.  Read previous discussion, it has all the answers you need.

I have applied for "Address Certificate For CPR" on https://www.mun.gov.bh/MunicipalApplica … istration.

How much time it will take to get the certificate? Should I go to concerned municipality?

Hi - if you forgot to bring your original legalized marriage certificate into Bahrain, is there an online portal you can submit the scanned version on and get some sort of attestation that can be used in applying for a dependent CPR?

XTang

Online submission for CPR is possible depending on the situation.  No attestation possible for a scanned document - you need original.

Ask your landlord to sort it out.  It's his issue.

Hello Everyone,


I am new here and just joined a new startup and things are going well. I need some information on the following issues:


CPR Issuance:

  • I do not have a salary to afford to get a place on my name, so I cannot get an address.
  • The company cannot provide their address as it is a startup, and they have a smart office only.
  • I have rented a room from a local, he agreed to sign something called CPR Declaration of Accommodation, but the EWA bill is not under his name that is with the building owner.
  • I have requested the Real Estate to ask the building owner to sign this but that is taking forever and if not sure if he will do it or not.
  • My company is pressuring me to finish this as many of my tasks require for me to have CPR and I cannot do anything until I have that.
  • This might lead to the termination of my employment.


If anyone has a solution, please do let me know.... how can I resolve this legally and what can I do to expedite this.


You can also reach me on WA (***)
