How do I fix traffic records under my old CPR number?

01Which record needs correction first?

Check the type of record before choosing a service. The official pages cover listed civil record changes, driving licence data modification and a used-vehicle information inquiry.

02Confirm your current ID and civil record

The page lists updates to work, address, education, marital status and similar civil-record data. It does not mention changing or merging a personal number.

If the information to update is printed on the surface of the ID card, the applicant must apply for card issuance.

The listed channels are Update Civil Record Details, MyGov and eKey 2.0. The page says an appointment can be made by calling 80008001.

03Modify the driving licence data

GDT publishes a service specifically for modifying driving licence data according to stakeholder notifications. For foreigners, the conditions include a valid residence permit.

The service page also lists these two conditions: Clear all fines, violations, and accidents (if any). No legal restrictions on the personal number.

Prepare a valid ID card and personal photo. The listed fee is BHD 10 and the process time is one working day.

1. Book an appointment through the Mawaeid app.
2. Attend the GDT Driver's License Division or an external service centre with the required documents.
3. Present the valid ID card and personal photo.
4. Pay the BHD 10 modification fee.

04Verify the vehicle record separately

The page describes Vehicle Record Inquiry as allowing citizens and residents interested in buying and selling used vehicles to view information related to the vehicles. It does not say whether the record shows the owner's personal number.

The inquiry is immediate, requires no documents and uses registration type, vehicle number and chassis number [F11, F12, F12b]. Use it as the check step before updating the ownership certificate.

1. Open Vehicle Record Inquiry.
2. Enter the registration type, vehicle number and chassis number.
3. Click 'Display' to view the vehicle record.
4. If the ownership certificate shows the old number, book Mawaeid and use Modification of Inspection and Ownership Certificate Data at the Vehicle Licensing Division.

05Update the vehicle ownership certificate

GDT publishes Modification of Inspection and Ownership Certificate Data for changes related to the vehicle owner. Book an appointment through Mawaeid, then attend the Vehicle Licensing Division or an external service centre.

Clear all traffic fines, contraventions and accidents first. Bring a valid ID card, the vehicle ownership certificate and the completed licensing-division form signed by the vehicle owner.

The fee for issuing the new ownership certificate is BHD 6, and the published process time is one working day.

1. Book an appointment through Mawaeid.
2. Clear all traffic fines, contraventions and accidents, if any.
3. Bring the valid ID card, vehicle ownership certificate and signed licensing-division form.
4. Attend the GDT Vehicle Licensing Division or an external service centre.
5. Pay BHD 6 for the new ownership certificate.

06What to have ready for GDT

For the licence service, bring the current valid ID card, residence permit if you are a foreign resident, and a personal photo.

For the vehicle inquiry, keep the vehicle number and chassis number ready. For the ownership-certificate update, bring the valid ID card, vehicle ownership certificate and signed licensing-division form.

1. Current ID card.
2. Valid residence permit for a foreign resident.
3. Personal photo for the licence modification.
4. Vehicle number and chassis number for the inquiry.
5. Vehicle ownership certificate and signed licensing-division form for the vehicle update.

07How to contact the General Directorate of Traffic

The official directory lists the GDT call centre as 17872222. It also lists [email protected] and [email protected].

Use these official contacts for questions about the published licence or vehicle-certificate services. The checked official pages do not describe which personal number appears in Vehicle Record Inquiry.

08What the official pages don't say

The checked official pages do not describe an online service for merging two personal numbers across licence and vehicle records. They publish separate GDT routes for updating the driving licence and vehicle ownership certificate.
