Restoring a cancelled CR

My CR was cancelled two years ago. Can I restore it instead of making a new one?

The situation

Yes. Restoration is done on Sijilat with renewal and revival fees plus monthly fines; reinstatement is now allowed at any time if conditions are met.

The law

  • Ministerial Order No. 62 of 2024: A standard authorisation can replace a power of attorney for filings by recognised professional bodies or the registrant's staff; deleted CRs may be reinstated at any time if conditions are met
  • Ministerial Order No. 63 of 2024 (from 17 October 2024): Late CR renewal fines: BHD 10 a month in year one, BHD 20 in year two, BHD 30 in year three, then BHD 500 a year, capped at BHD 5,000

What it means for you

Bahrain.bh lists renewal BHD 50 and revival BHD 50 plus fines of BHD 10 a month in year one and BHD 20 in year two. Two years of lapse would be about 12 x 10 + 12 x 20 = BHD 360 in fines plus BHD 100. Restoring keeps your CR number and history.

What to do

  1. Check the CR status on Sijilat.
  2. Apply to restore.
  3. Pay revival fees and fines.
  4. Complete any amendment.
