The Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB) has introduced a new feature that enables property location identification via Google Maps.
The initiative aligns with efforts to enhance the real estate sector and advance digital transformation in government services, as per the press statement.
The Bahrain Survey and Land Registration Bureau is a key government entity in the Kingdom of Bahrain that is responsible for managing and regulating land registration, surveying, and real estate activities. The SLRB is responsible for maintaining the official records of land ownership, transactions, and property titles in Bahrain.
The SLRB plays a crucial role in the country’s economic development by creating a transparent and secure environment for real estate transactions. The property market is a significant part of Bahrain’s economy, and effective land registration is vital for the country’s growth.
According to the statement, the feature allows users to access a property’s exact location by scanning a QR code on the ownership document. The system utilizes geospatial coordinates to ensure accuracy, providing direct access to the property’s location on Google Maps.
SLRB highlighted that this feature improves accessibility to verified property information, saving time and effort by eliminating the need for physical visits. It also enhances decision-making by offering visual and real time insights, reinforcing transparency and trust in Bahrain’s real estate sector.
In recent years, the Bureau has focused on digitalizing its services, including offering electronic payments and online access to property records, reducing paperwork, and improving service delivery times. It is also involved in modernizing land and property data to support better decision-making and planning in the context of urban development.
