The Ministry stated that the service is accessible through its website, moj.gov.bh, and that it offers a safe login process with the advanced electronic key (2.0), which eliminates the need for passwords and enables biometric authentication (facial recognition), improving the dependability and integrity of processes.
According to Dr. Mohammed Majbel, the Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for State Issues and International Cooperation, the service’s introduction demonstrates the Ministry’s desire to make legal processes easier for consumers. He pointed out that the service enables users to follow up on their legal and judicial affairs in a flexible manner via a single platform, which helps to save time and effort, enhance the effectiveness of government services, and facilitate quicker completion in keeping with the Kingdom’s overall development.
Recognizing the crucial role that attorneys play in the legal system, the Ministry set aside a specific page in the service for attorneys, allowing them to keep an eye on all of their clients’ files and stay informed about relevant cases and requests in accordance with the most recent developments. Through a cutting-edge digital interface that satisfies the demands of law firms, this seeks to improve the flow of legal work and speed up operations.
The service addresses a number of important topics. Inquiries into ongoing and completed cases are possible through the court cases section, which displays the overall number of cases together with information on the type, status, decisions, sessions, degree of litigation, electronic documents, and issued judgments. Additionally, users have access to the monthly court session agenda and can track daily court sessions.
The program contains a section for electronic notifications pertaining to lawsuits and enforcement requests, as well as the ability to manage ongoing and completed enforcement files and overdue amounts. Travel ban and seizure orders, notarization transactions with electronic viewing, printing, and cancellation options, and minors’ orders, including file details and amounts available, dispersed, or received, are all covered.
Lawyers can use the service to check the status of their practicing license, office information, and members, as well as to inquire about outstanding criminal orders with direct payment options. There is also a technical help section for complaints and questions.
Over 1,300 government services have been released, translated, and documented as part of continuous government efforts to develop and re-engineer them; approximately 800 services are now being developed and re-engineered across different government sectors.
The National System for Suggestions and Complaints, Tawasul, investor feedback, secret shopper surveys assessing government services, the introduction of guidance manuals and service level agreements, and other suggestions and feedback about government services provide the basis for this.
These initiatives enhance the government’s digital transformation process, strengthen beneficiary experiences, improve procedural efficiency, and improve service quality.
