That covers work and Iqama, family visas, studies, banking and company setup in Kuwait City, Hawalli, Farwaniya, Ahmadi, Jahra and the rest of the country. Without the correct chain, originals are often stopped at the first review.

The process for Kuwait

Review and package choice

You send a scan or originals. We flag if notarisation and Arabic translation are needed before or in parallel with MFA and embassy. You get a fixed price before we proceed.

Notarisation when required

Private documents are certified by Notary Public. Public extracts can sometimes go straight to MFA. We say which path applies to your document.

MFA and the Kuwait Embassy

We drive the case through the Swedish MFA and submit to the Kuwait Embassy in Stockholm. Embassy tariffs are specified before filing.

Return to you

Finished documents are sent with tracked post. Priority and VIP give closer updates during processing.

FAQ about Kuwait legalisation

Does Kuwait accept an apostille?

Not in practice. Kuwait is outside the Hague Convention. Recipients in Kuwait City require embassy legalisation via MFA and the Kuwait Embassy.

How should the steps be ordered?

Private documents are notarised first, then MFA and embassy. Arabic translation can run before or in parallel depending on the recipient requirement.

What about the embassy fee?

It varies by document according to the embassy tariff. We specify the amount before filing so you are not surprised.

Is an English translation enough?

Sometimes with international companies. Kuwaiti authorities more often want Arabic. We offer authorized Swedish to Arabic translation from SEK 1,495.

How long does it take?

Basic usually takes 8 to 15 business days depending on MFA and the embassy queue. Priority and VIP shorten our coordination where possible.

Can you order Swedish extracts for me?

Yes. We often help obtain personal records, criminal record certificates and company extracts before legalisation.

Can companies use this service?

Yes. We legalise company extracts, powers of attorney, agreements, invoices and other trade documents for Kuwait.

What is included from SEK 2,495?

Our handling of the embassy legalisation chain in Basic, Priority or VIP. Notarisation, translation and the embassy own tariff are added when needed and specified in advance.
