“Justice Ministry” launches mechanism for decrees on citizenship withdrawal

The Ministry of Justice announced the completion of an integrated mechanism, developed in cooperation with relevant authorities, to list and enter all Amiri decrees issued to withdraw, lose, or revoke Kuwaiti citizenship.

Importantly, the Ministry noted that this mechanism ensures the activation of the provisions of these decrees the day after their publication in the Official Gazette.

The Ministry stated in a press statement today, Tuesday, 24 December, that it has completed the implementation of Administrative Circular No. 23 of 2024. This circular, which was previously issued, required verifying the identity of the reviewer through the unified government application for electronic services, “Sahel”, after its recent update.

Furthermore, the Ministry explained that the mechanism for listing and entering decrees related to nationality aims to issue official documents that accurately reflect an individual’s legal status, thereby preserving both the rights and legal standing of the state and the citizen.
