Central Agency: Electronic platform for receiving applications from individuals whose citizenships have been revoked under Article Five

The Central Agency for Addressing the Status of Illegal Residents announced the opening of its electronic platform to receive applications from individuals whose citizenship had been revoked under the former Article 5. In a statement, the agency said this step aims to complete the prescribed procedures for issuing the official “For Whom It May Concern” certificate for cases that had not previously applied, through the electronic platform. The agency clarified that the service covers “meritorious individuals, children of Kuwaiti women, and holders of the 1965 census records,” noting that applications must be submitted exclusively in the name of the individual whose revocation decree was issued, and that separate applications are not required for each dependent. It added that if the person named in the decree is deceased, their relatives may submit the application via the electronic platform in the name and with the details of the deceased, specifying that the required documents include a copy of the civil ID, and if the person is deceased, a copy of the death certificate must be attached. The agency noted that, because the agency’s website is not linked to the “Sahel” application, applicants must download the “For Whom It May Concern” certificate immediately after its issuance from the website, then manually upload it through the application to complete the remaining procedures. It pointed out that “in case of any system malfunction or technical issue during the application process, applicants should visit the Status Adjustment Department at the Central Agency for Addressing the Status of Illegal Residents building located in the Shuwaikh area (As-Sawabir) to take the necessary measures.”
