Kuwait issues decree on nationality change
Kuwait has issued a decree-law amending certain provisions of Kuwait’s Nationality Law No. 15 of 1959, aimed at enhancing transparency and preventing forgery. The amendment stipulates the exclusion of anyone who intentionally adds to their nationality file or that of another person—those who are not members of their family. This includes the possibility of revoking the nationality of children of those who intentionally commit such acts if proven. Additionally, the Minister of Interior will issue electronic certificates of nationality in accordance with technical and digital standards. Those who acquire nationality through naturalization will not be granted the right to vote, run for office, or be appointed to legislative bodies. The amendment holds clear legal significance, as its primary goal is to protect national lineage and reinforce the credibility of citizens’ nationality status.
