Kuwait is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Kuwait therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Kuwait embassy or consulate legalises it.
Degrees for employment visas, corporate and export documents and civil-status documents for Kuwait are certified by the issuing authority or a notary, authenticated by the foreign ministry of the issuing country, legalised by the Kuwaiti embassy or consulate there and then attested by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Kuwaiti documents for use abroad are attested by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the embassy of the destination country. Kuwait does not issue apostilles, so this applies even for Convention countries.
Kuwaiti authorities generally work in Arabic; ask the recipient whether an Arabic translation is required and whether it must be made or certified in Kuwait.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Kuwait.
- Start with the issuing country’s foreign ministry – the Kuwaiti embassy legalises only after it
- Commercial documents are usually certified by a chamber of commerce first
- Confirm translation requirements with the Kuwaiti recipient before translating
