Central Agency: Opening of the electronic platform to receive applications from individuals whose citizenships were revoked under Article 5

The Central Agency for Addressing the Status of Illegal Residents announced the opening of its online platform to receive applications from individuals whose citizenship had been revoked under Article 5.

In a statement on Monday, the Central Agency said this step aims to complete the prescribed procedures for obtaining the official “For Whom It May Concern” certificate for cases that had not previously applied, through the online platform (https://es.carirs.gov.kw). The agency clarified that the service covers “meritorious business owners, 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 whose name appears on the decree is deceased, their relatives may submit the application via the online platform using the deceased person’s name and details. The required documents and attachments include a copy of the civil ID, and if the individual is deceased, a copy of the death certificate must be provided.

The agency noted that, because its 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 and then manually upload it through the application to complete the remaining procedures.

It further indicated 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 (Al-Sawaber), to take the necessary measures.”
