A growing number of Bahrain residents are renewing their id cards every year, even as the local government imposes questions on card renewals and/or life insurance policies. Understanding the ins and outs of novelty id cards can help make your decision more wallet-friendly. Finally, be sure to read the airport security procedures before travelling, as some airports may require a separate process for issuing state-issued id cards. If you’re buying a document from a embassy or consulate, be sure to look for the authenticity stamp. This will tell you how sure the document is of its authenticity. If the stamp is either missing or changed, it’s unlikely that the document is legitimate. If you haven’t had much luck before, it may be worth consulting a lawyer. If the id card has not been used in 6 months, it needs to be brought into a participating employer or bank and registered.
