Kuwait’s Supreme Committee for Citizenship is taking formal action to revoke the Kuwaiti nationality of a female citizen. This decisive step follows a conclusive investigation that found her in violation of the country’s strict laws prohibiting dual citizenship.
According to informed governmental sources, the case centres on the woman’s possession of two official identity documents. She holds a valid Kuwaiti Civil ID alongside a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) identity card issued by her husband’s home country.
The official probe was launched after authorities identified the discrepancy. Investigators confirmed that both identity documents contain identical personal information, including the woman’s full name and photograph. This provided concrete evidence of her dual status.
The investigation further revealed that the woman acquired foreign citizenship automatically through her marriage to a Gulf national. Following the marriage, the authorities in her husband’s country issued her a formal national identity card, solidifying her legal status there.
Kuwait’s Nationality Law, specifically Law No. 15 of 1959, forms the foundation for this action. Article 11 of this law explicitly states that any Kuwaiti who voluntarily acquires a foreign nationality shall lose their Kuwaiti citizenship. The Supreme Committee is now applying this legal provision directly to the case.
The Committee has thoroughly reviewed all relevant documentation, including the marriage certificate and the foreign identity card. After verifying that all legal procedures were followed in the investigation, the Committee is moving forward with the revocation. This process is being conducted in full compliance with Kuwait’s established legal framework.
