Since the Smart Card permits a secure and fast verification of the holder's identity, it can speed up identification requests from government and non-government authorities. For example, a Smart Card holder travelling to and from the Kingdom will be able to benefit from quick and convenient e-gates at the Bahrain International Airport. Similarly, the Smart Card can also be used to make payments at the Airport, for public transport and car parks. More importantly, a Smart Card holder can also use the Card to pay government bills and fees and benefit from automated payment systems via specially installed electronic devices at government facilities and private establishments.

Another benefit of the Smart Card's ability to securely verify the holder's identity is to allow voting in a simple and timesaving manner. The voter's details on the system are crosschecked with the biometric information stored on the Card thus ensuring a secure and confidential means of voting.

Additionally, the Smart Card stores the basic medical details of the holder with an option to have the holder's blood type printed on the face of the Card. It can also keep track of children's vaccinations and when the next doctor's appointments are due.

The integration of the holder's driving license with the Smart Card allows easy renewal of licenses via the electronic chip without replacing the Card itself. This feature also keeps track of traffic violations by allowing traffic police to make on-the-spot changes to the holder's driving license record with the use of special card readers. For security reasons, the card readers issued to the traffic police can only access the driving license area of the Smart Card's data. As soon as the Card is placed in the reader, it biometrically verifies the holder's identity and allows traffic police to view the holder's driving license details and record traffic violations.

The benefits of the Smart Card continue at home where it allows the holder to conduct transactions over the Internet. By attaching a small card reader to the computer, the holder's identity is instantly and securely verified as soon as the Card is inserted into the reader. Upon verification the holder can access numerous e-government services and also make payments for these services.

Last but not least, the Smart Card can be used as a valid travel document for journeys between the Gulf Cooperative Council countries. And since the Card conforms to the international standards for electronic smart cards, it may also serve as a valid travel document to and from countries which permit such use of smart cards and e-gates.
