When you’re making your big move to Kuwait, there’s so much you’ll need organise. You are relocating your entire life, after all. And, in the midst of planning your living situation, sorting out your residency visa (Iqama), and tying up all the loose ends back home, it’s easy to overlook Kuwait attestation for your documents.
But overlook it at your peril. Although it’s probably not at the top of your priorities, you won’t be able to move to Kuwait unless you get the document attestation process right.
Don’t worry, though. We can take care of your Kuwait attestation for you. You can spend your time worrying about other things instead, like remembering your sunscreen.
What do I need to do in order to attest my documents for use in Kuwait?
If you ever move to foreign country or are conducting business overseas, you’ll always need to have your documents attested first. Kuwait is no different. It’s so that foreign countries can be sure that the documents you’re presenting to them are legitimate.
The process differs massively from country to country and it can be hard to get your head around. Some countries have tried to make it as simple as possible by joining something called the Hague Apostille Convention – but, unfortunately, Kuwait isn’t one of them.
What’s the Kuwait attestation process?
There are a few key steps in the Kuwait attestation process, but the process differs depending on the documents that you’re presenting.
- Certification – Depending on the document, you might need to find an FCDO-registered solicitor to certify your document.
- Apostille – You’ll need to send your documents to the FCDO for an Apostille stamp.
- Consular Stamp – You’ll need to send your documents to the Kuwait Embassy in London for a consular stamp.
- MoFA – Finally, you’ll need to send your documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) in Kuwait!
Oh, and you could potentially need your documents translating, too.
First things first, you might want to get in touch with your future employer (or whoever you’re presenting your documents to) in Kuwait and get a list of exactly what they need you to attest. Once you know what you need attesting, you can start thinking about how you’re going to do it.
The easiest way to deal with Kuwait attestation
Kuwait attestation can be a pain. Just working out the process for your specific documents is tricky enough, and then you’ve got to organise everything. Keep in mind that if you get anything wrong, it can lead to delays. It’s a lot to take on, especially at an already stressful time.
