In line with its commitment to keeping citizens and residents informed of new developments and enabling them to receive automatic government notifications, the Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) announced that it has sent text messages from “GOVBH” inviting users to register for the NotifyMe service. The message contains a reminder to complete the registration procedures by visiting the National Portal Bahrain.bh  or accessing the link contained within the text message.

iGA said that it received swift response and a high volume of interaction from citizens and residents who received the text messages, resulting in a high number of registrations. The texts were sent last month in collaboration with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) and telecommunication companies. This activity is in support of iGA’s efforts in developing, automating, and improving the quality of government services for citizens and residents. NotifyMe, will raise the efficiency of communication between government entities and the public, and keep them informed via direct government notifications.  

iGA urges the public to ensure that they provide accurate details. To use the NotifyMe service, users can login with their eKeys or ID cards, then select ‘Register Contact Details’. Once the login attempt is successful, the system will request users to enter their mobile numbers and One-Time Passwords (OTP), which they will receive via SMS on the same mobile number. They can then click on the link they receive by email to complete the registration.
