I recently lost my civil ID, so I had to get a new one. A police report is no longer required for replacement IDs by the Public Authority for Civil Information. The original passport and a copy of the lost civil ID are sufficient.
Get an Appointment through the PACI website
The first step was to make an appointment through the PACI website, www.paci.gov.kw. After that, I was redirected to the Meta platform, where all services are available. For the first time, users must register on the Meta platform. A civil ID number, a mobile number, the serial number of your civil ID, and an email address will be required. You will not be able to proceed if you do not register. Once you have registered, click on personal services.
PACI headquarters in South Surra can be visited by any applicant who is unable to access the Meta platform. Appointments can be made outside the building at the offices of private companies. In addition to securing appointments, typing forms, and photocopying, these companies can assist with paperwork. KD 3 is the cost of booking an appointment.
PACI Appointment for Lost ID Card
You should take a copy of your lost civil ID, your appointment paper, and your original passport to PACI. When your turn comes, take a token number from the reception and go to the counter. In most cases, processing an application takes only a few minutes, depending on the number of applicants on that day. An email address, mobile number, and full name will need to be entered on a form.
You will receive this form as proof of your civil ID application. PACI allows you to pay for the replacement of a lost ID online for KD 20.
Civil ID Lost Indians in Kuwait
Please bring your original passport, a copy of your Civil ID, and a copy of your passport to the PACI office at Surra. Your new Civil ID will be available after 2-3 days after you pay the 20KD fine through K-net (only K-net will be accepted).
It is also possible to download the Kuwait Mobile ID app, which displays your valid civil ID at all government offices and border crossings.
Conclusion
The process of getting a replacement civil ID has been simplified, eliminating the need for police reports. With PACI’s website and Meta platform, users can schedule appointments online, and alternative options are available for those who have difficulty. The application can be finalized with a simple in-person visit to the PACI office, and the new Civil ID can be obtained within a few days, ensuring a hassle-free process.
