To be able to live and work in Kuwait, the country’s embassy in the UK will need to have attested certain personal paperwork and certificates. This verifies these documents so that they will be accepted by Kuwait officials.
However, this undertaking can often be complex and confusing, as well as costly if not done right. As such, our personal certificate attestation service for Kuwait is designed to be incredibly useful, providing authenticating for documents like passports, driving licences and health certificates, all on our clients’ behalf. We also offer an international delivery service via DHL to our customers outside of the UK.

Do I need to send the original document or a copy?
While a solicitor typically only stamps a copy of the document, they must still see the original, so you will need to provide this too. The sole original documents attested by solicitors are non-ACRO police certificates.
Should your paperwork be exempt from solicitor stamping, the FCO does not accept copies, and as such, they will still stamp the original.
