Has Your Civil ID Address On Kuwait Mobile ID Disappeared? Here Is How To Restore It
What could be the reason for the sudden removal of the PACI address from the Mobile ID for all tenants? The removal of a PACI-registered residential address from a tenant's Mobile ID can occur due to several administrative or regulatory reasons, particularly in light of recent updates to Kuwait's residency and civil registration procedures. The most probable causes include: 1. Absence of a Valid Lease Document: PACI requires a valid, signed rental contract in the tenant's name, reflecting current ownership details. If such a document is missing, expired, or not updated following a change in property ownership, PACI may remove the address during its periodic database audits. 2. Non-compliance with Documentation Requirements: According to recent PACI guidelines, the following documents are essential for address registration: A valid lease agreement in the tenant's name The PACI (serial) number of the apartment A copy of the building's ownership deed (waseeqa) Failure to submit any of the above may result in the automatic deletion of the address from the PACI system. 3. Change in Ownership or Property Status: If the property ownership was transferred but the previous landlord failed to properly update the PACI records or submit the relevant documentation, PACI may have deactivated the existing address entries for compliance reasons. 4. Scheduled Demolition or Evacuation of the Building: If the building has been reported as scheduled for demolition or declared uninhabitable, PACI has the authority to deactivate associated address records. Legality of Action: Yes, PACI is within its legal and administrative rights to remove address records that do not meet updated regulatory standards. This action is not considered a landlord-imposed removal but an enforcement of administrative procedures. Regular rent payments alone do not constitute a legal basis for retaining PACI registration if the contractual and documentary requirements are not fulfilled. How to Update your new address PACI has introduced a new e‑service on the unified government Sahel app, allowing expatriates to change their Civil ID address without visiting an office. This development streamlines the process and reinforces compliance with Kuwaiti residency regulations Step‑by‑Step Procedure

Kuwaitis mark 35th anniversary of Iraqi invasion, remember global support
KUWAIT: Kuwaitis mark on August second, Saturday, the 35th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of the country, a grave historical happening that led the world to unite and rid the State of Kuwait of its invaders. Most countries around the world condemned the heinous crime carried out against the Kuwaiti people as the brutal Iraqi invasion resulted in incidents of death and destruction against the peaceful people of Kuwait. Those who lived in Kuwait's darkest hour will vividly remember how the Iraqi army wreaked havoc, closed vital roads and destroyed infrastructure and properties, inflicting horrors on people. Despite the dire situation, Kuwaitis took a stance and rose above their adversaries, fighting back with all their might to liberate their land. Kuwaiti women played a great role in the resistance, as they delivered and provided supplies and weapons to the men to defend their homeland, in addition to participating in military operations to liberate Kuwait. Forming resistance groups tasked with fighting the invaders and providing services to the people of the country, Kuwaitis and residents alike took the helm and opposed the Iraqi army. While Kuwaitis were fighting from within, the government—led by the late Amir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah—gathered international support to bring back Kuwait to its people. Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) took a unified stance and adopted on August second resolution 660. The resolution condemned the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and demanded that Iraq withdraw immediately and unconditionally all its forces to the positions in which they were located on 1 August 1990. It called upon Iraq and Kuwait to begin immediately intensive negotiations for the resolution of their differences and supported all efforts in this regard, and especially those of the League of Arab States; decided to meet again as necessary to consider further steps to ensure compliance with the resolution. ' In accordance with the resolution, Arab and international delegations met in Saudi Arabia to formulate a coalition to thwart the invaders, a step that was achieved in February 1991. Kuwait's global position as a peaceful and generous nation since independence had helped gather support for its just cause. — KUNA

From Kuwait With Love: An Indian Expat's Tribute, 35 Years After The Invasion
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 2: As Kuwait marks the 35th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion, former expatriates around the world pause to reflect on a moment that changed their lives forever. Among them is Geoffrey Vaz, an Indian national who spent his childhood in Kuwait during the turbulent events of 1990. "August 2 is not just another date on the calendar," Vaz said. "It's a memory — raw and real. A reminder of how quickly life can change. We remember the sirens, the fear, and the abrupt disruption of everything familiar. Families like mine were uprooted overnight. Children, including myself, had to grow up far too quickly. Some of us faced days of uncertainty, while others fled with little more than the clothes on their backs — surviving only through the kindness of strangers and the resilience of our communities." Despite the chaos, the emotional bond with Kuwait remained strong. "Even in that upheaval, we never forgot what Kuwait meant to us," he added. "Many of us returned to India or moved elsewhere, but a part of our hearts stayed behind. The memories are still vivid: the scent of the souk, the rhythm of Ramadan, the warmth of Kuwaiti neighbors, and the quiet calm of weekend beach walks — these are fragments of a childhood deeply rooted in a land we once called home." Vaz also paid tribute to Kuwait's recovery in the years that followed, acknowledging the strength and determination shown by its people. "Kuwait rose with grace and strength after the war, rebuilding with a fierce sense of purpose," he said. "And while today's Kuwait rightly emphasizes national identity and sovereignty, our connection to it endures — shaped not by borders, but by memory and humanity." Calling for reflection rather than politics, he emphasized the importance of honoring the shared past. "This day is about remembrance — about resilience, survival, and a solidarity many of us never expected but will never forget," he said. Vaz concluded with a message to the Kuwaiti people and his fellow former expatriates: "To the people of Kuwait and its government, I offer my heartfelt respect and gratitude. Your courage, your generosity in welcoming families like mine, and your perseverance through adversity have left a lasting impression. And to those who once lived there — wherever you may be today — I know many of you feel the same quiet ache, the same wave of memories. We may no longer live in Kuwait, but Kuwait lives in us." "May we carry forward the lessons of those times — with compassion, humility, and dignity. And may Almighty Allah bless Kuwait, and bless us all."
