The Public Authority for Civil Information has recently introduced stricter procedures for issuing or renewing civil cards for single expatriates (bachelors). This involves thorough verification of rental contracts, including scrutinizing the owner’s signature. Unmarried individuals residing in private and residential areas have also been addressed by a committee, cross-referencing their civil cards to ensure accuracy in reporting their locations.

Khaled Al-Shammari, spokesperson for the Public Authority for Civil Information, emphasized that the address list it maintains explicitly prohibits the registration of bachelors in private housing. For the purpose of enforcing this restriction, automated procedures and systems are in place.

Al-Shammari emphasized the authority's active participation in a government committee dedicated to combating and preventing bachelors from living in conventional areas. The committee receives complaints and conducts on-site verifications to identify any violations.

As of 2021, the Authority offers an expatriate data service through its website and a networked government application (Sahel). This service allows property owners to review expatriate data within their buildings. The service allows property owners to automatically file complaints and make necessary changes to data if any inaccuracies are identified.
