Applications and Renewal

Step-by-step guides to applying for a new Kuwait Civil ID and renewing an existing one through PACI. These guides cover first-time applications for expats and newborns, online renewal through the PACI website and Sahel app, required documents, and common reasons an application gets delayed or rejected. Each guide is written by Abdullah Al-Mutairi and checked against PACI’s official eServices and the Sahel app.

This is an independent guide, not affiliated with PACI. Applications and renewals are submitted only through services.paci.gov.kw or the Sahel app.
