Notarisation Law
The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) issued this consultation to gather industry feedback on documents preferred for English notarization under Law No. 37 of 2017, which amends the 1971 Notarization Law. The amended law authorizes the Minister of Justice and Islamic Affairs to license private notaries, establishes their qualifications and operational framework, and mandates that official documents be notarized in Arabic unless an interpreter is used. Licensees, audit firms, and law firms are required to submit their electronic responses by 21 November 2017 to inform the forthcoming ministerial resolution.
