This article has been reviewed and fact-checked by Wego’s editorial team.

The Kuwaiti government has issued a formal reminder to its citizens and residents about the impending deadline for biometric fingerprint registration. Kuwaiti nationals are urged to complete their registration by 30 September 2024 to avoid any disruptions in access to essential government services, Wego reports.

For foreign residents, the deadline has been set for 30 December 2024. Biometric registration is mandatory for all, and failure to comply will result in restricted access to public sector services.

To accommodate the increased demand, the operating hours of biometric fingerprinting centers have been extended, now open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week. Before visiting a center, citizens and residents must submit their application through the Sahel system.

With the deadline approaching, it is critical that all individuals complete their registration to maintain uninterrupted access to government services.
