National eGovernment Service Identity Loop

Bahrain's National Portal uses a three-tier 'eKey' login (PIN, smartcard/ID card, and fingerprint biometric for the advanced tier) for single sign-on across government eServices, while the SIJILAT portal gives the Ministry of Industry and Commerce a single online hub for commercial registration and business licensing.
