Al-Samit: Reforms in marriage, divorce, and company document authentication
The Kuwaiti Minister of Justice, Nasser Youssef Al-Smeit, confirmed that the new amendments to the notarization law aim to strengthen family stability and protect individuals' rights. They seek to develop notarization procedures by introducing new requirements. Among the amendments are the mandatory implementation of counseling programs before marriage registration and increasing reconciliation opportunities prior to divorce through family dispute resolution centers, as well as the documentation of final rulings related to marriage and divorce. Additionally, measures have been added to support digital transformation, allowing for electronic notarization via approved means, and making it no longer mandatory to notarize company documents at the Ministry of Justice. These changes are intended to facilitate company transactions and reduce procedures between relevant entities. The amendments will come into effect six months after their publication. Overall, the objective is to improve the efficiency of legal services, protect societal rights, and support family stability.
