PACI Urges 471 Individuals To Update Residential Addresses Or Face KD 100 Fine

The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) in Kuwait has officially announced the removal of 471 individuals from its residential database. This action was taken based on declarations submitted by homeowners or due to the demolition of residential properties, as documented in the official gazette Kuwait Alyawm.

30-Day Deadline to Update Address

PACI has urged all affected individuals to update their residential information within a 30-day window beginning Sunday—the day of the official announcement. The authority emphasized that those affected must take prompt action to avoid legal consequences.

Options to Complete the Address Update

• Visit PACI in person: The authority has made provisions at its offices to assist those seeking in-person assistance.
• Use the “Sahel” app: A convenient online method available to residents, provided all required documents are submitted accurately through the app.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Those who fail to comply with the address update directive within the 30-day period will be subject to legal action under Article 33 of Law No. 32 of 1982. The law stipulates a fine of up to KD 100 per person for failure to maintain accurate residential information.

Ensuring Legal Compliance in Kuwait

PACI's move is part of ongoing efforts to maintain accurate and up-to-date civil records. This initiative aligns with broader government strategies aimed at enhancing public service efficiency and regulatory compliance. Residents are strongly advised to verify their address data and take immediate corrective action if discrepancies are found.
