Obtaining a Civil ID in Kuwait Made Straightforward with Delivery Service
Expats residing in Kuwait need to get an official Civil ID card within 30 days after receiving their residency visa. The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) provides these mandatory ID cards to all nationals and expats.
In the past, people had to submit paperwork and pick up new or renewed cards in person at PACI centers. Now though, PACI offers a more convenient Civil ID delivery service.
This delivery option lets folks finish the application process and receive recently issued or extended Civil ID cards directly to their home or office. This skips unnecessary visits to PACI offices.
The application steps are easy:
- Fill out the Civil ID renewal/application form online and add supporting files.
- Book a card delivery appointment on the PACI website.
- Pay by credit card or bank transfer.
- Wait for on-time delivery of the Civil ID card.
Going with the delivery service has quite a few upsides. The main perks are skipping PACI queues, picking delivery times that match your routine, and hassle-free door-to-door card delivery.
On the whole, the streamlined Civil ID delivery method has made renewal and application much easier for expats and citizens living in Kuwait. With efficient home delivery, getting this essential ID document critical for daily affairs is now problem-free.
