The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) has included family visa among e-envelope services via its website https//e-envelope.paci.gov.kw for citizens and expatriates. According to new service, expatriates on family visa can apply for their civil ID online instead of submitting the envelop physically.

Director General of PACI Mosaed Mahmoud AlAsousi disclosed that the new method is within the framework of the authority to change the current paper envelope to e-envelope to enable clients to upload information without purchasing envelopes and making copies of their documents, so as to save time and efforts required to visit the headquarters.

He pointed out that documents required for completing the procedures for family visa include uploading passport photo, valid residency page and copy of traveling passport, and blood group via the website. In case the data intended to upload belong to a dependent added on the passport of a parent, information page of the parent should be uploaded alongside information pages for the first and second dependents, as the case may be.

He stressed that Indians should include the last page of father’s passport.
