KUWAIT CITY: The Kuwaiti government has announced a new fee structure for the issuance of replacement passports, setting the cost at 100 Kuwaiti dinars (KD) for lost passports.

This decision was published in the official gazette ‘Kuwait Al-Yawm’ on Sunday.

The General Directorate of Nationality and Passports has implemented this fee to streamline the process of obtaining a replacement for lost passports, which has been a growing concern among citizens.

Officials stated that this measure aims to enhance administrative efficiency and reduce the burden on the passport issuance system.

This new fee is expected to impact Kuwaiti citizens significantly, as it introduces a financial obligation for those who lose their passports.

The government hopes that this initiative will encourage individuals to take better care of their documents and reduce the instances of lost passports, which can complicate travel and identification processes.

Moving forward, the government plans to monitor the implementation of this fee and assess its effectiveness in reducing passport loss incidents. Citizens are advised to stay informed about any further updates regarding passport services and related fees.
