Updating the English name in your Civil ID.

As per the latest rule, the name on the Civil ID card has to match with the name in your passport. If your info doesn’t match your passport, you now have to fix it. Here is teh step by step detail on how to update this information:

Step 1) Go to the PACI eEnvelope system website (https://e-envelope.paci.gov.kw/EServices.aspx), if the website is in Arabic you can change the language to English, there’s an option at the top of the page

Step 2) Click on non-Kuwaiti Renewal

Step 3) Enter your Civil ID and serial no. which is shown on the back

Step 4) You’ll have to verify your mobile no. so they’ll send you a verification SMS

Step 5) Enter all data required (blood type is optional but if that needs changing too then you’ll need to also upload a lab report)

Step 6) Upload the required documents

Step 7) You’ll be sent an application’s reference number to your registered mobile no., which you can use to track your application’s progress

Step 8) Wait and wait, this will take a few days as your application needs to be checked manually, once it’s approved you’ll be sent a link on your mobile to make the payment of KD5, after that you’ll just go have to go to South Surra to replace your old ID with the new one.
