Importance of having a Kuwait civil ID:

If you are planning to settle in Kuwait getting the civil ID will be one of the main priorities due to the following:

Identification

The civil ID in Kuwait is the most basic element to verify the identity of a person, being also a requirement in different procedures such as opening a bank account or getting a driver's license.

In addition, the civil ID allows the person to have access to a certain service. This document can also be presented when traveling to any of the GCC countries.

Proof of Residency

When proof of residency is required, the civil ID will be the best option. In addition, this document will also allow you to apply for a work permit, as well as to renew your visa once it has expired. Information such as residency status and visa type are stored on the civil ID.

Medical Information

A special feature of the Kuwait civil ID is that it contains the owner's medical information, which allows it to be consulted by any health professional when the person goes to a health center to receive medical attention.

So, with the civil ID the medical staff can have access to relevant health information such as blood group, check if the person suffers from any allergy or have access to its medical history.

Requirements to apply for a civil ID in Kuwait

Among the requirements to apply for a Kuwait civil ID are the following:

Original passport and a copy
Recent passport size photos (2); be sure to take them without glasses if you wear them. In addition, your face should cover a ratio of 2:2 and 2:5 of the photo and be in the center of it. Avoid taking the photo in military uniform and the background color should not affect the sharpness of the photo.
One envelope
Lease agreement
Fingerprint notification
Blood group certificate
If the applicant lives in a household with other persons, a copy of each person's civil ID must be submitted.

On the other hand, in case the applicant cannot come personally to process the civil ID, it must obtain a power of attorney from the Ministry of Justice so that the person it has chosen as representative can submit the application.

Another thing you should know about the Kuwaiti civil ID is that the application for this document will be subject to a time limit.

This means that once the person obtains his residence stamp, it will have one month to process the civil ID, otherwise it will have to pay a fine of 20 KD. Therefore, it is important that you process your civil ID as soon as possible within this time period.

Kuwait civil ID application fees

It is important to be aware of the fees associated with Kuwait civil ID processing. In this regard, there are two types of fees that are subject to the processing of this document:

Variable fees.

These will depend on the nationality of the person applying for the civil ID, as well as the residency status that it has. These fees must be paid during the application process.

Fixed Fees

Within the fixed fees there are two types of associated fees: the first one is the fee applied to the acquisition of the smart card, which will be 5 KD, equivalent to $16.29. The second one corresponds to the envelope fee, which will be 0.25 KD, equivalent to $0.81.
