Legal Jurisdictions for Bahrain

All legal entities must be registered against a jurisdiction that is governed by a legal authority.

Jurisdictions must be set up before creating registrations, because a jurisdiction is required in the registration process. A jurisdiction may also have a start date and end date to show when the jurisdiction is effective and when you can register against it. There is no predefined jurisdiction for Bahrain, but you can setup the identifying jurisdiction for Social Insurance (as Legislative Category) and register it with the Social Insurance Number (Legal Entity Registration Code).

You can create additional jurisdictions as needed using the Manage Legal Jurisdictions task but the identifying jurisdiction is the one that is automatically associated with all legal entities created for the territory. It represents the jurisdiction that a company has to register with when first created, such as Chamber of Commerce or Companies House. Registration information for the identifying jurisdiction is required when creating a legal employer. Multiple jurisdictions are required to allow multiple registrations with different legal authorities.

To create a jurisdiction:

1. Select Manage Legal Jurisdictions in the implementation project task list.
2. Create Bahrain Social Insurance Jurisdictions. Click Create in Manage Legal Jurisdictions page and enter the required information:
