You Can Now Easily Update Passport Through Sahl App

Residents in Kuwait can now update their passport information effortlessly through the government’s unified Sahl app, thanks to a newly launched electronic service from the Ministry of Interior (MOI). The digital initiative removes the need to visit service centers in person, offering a faster and more convenient process for expatriates and citizens alike.

The service was developed by the General Department of Information Systems in cooperation with the General Department of Residence Affairs, enabling users to update passport details anytime using the Sahl app.

According to the MOI, the move is part of ongoing government efforts to simplify administrative procedures, reduce waiting times, and enhance overall service quality as Kuwait advances toward a fully integrated digital government system.

With the new feature, residents can complete passport updates entirely online, saving time and effort that would otherwise be spent physically visiting a service center. The convenience aligns with broader trends in Kuwait’s public services, which increasingly leverage digital platforms to streamline interactions between residents and government departments.

Officials say the passport update service via the Sahl app reflects the government’s commitment to continuous improvement and better user experience, especially for the large expatriate community that regularly interacts with residency and passport procedures.

Residents planning to update their passport information can access the new service through the Sahl app’s menu and follow the guided steps to submit their details electronically without the need for physical paperwork or appointments.

The launch of this digital passport update service comes amid broader modernization efforts across Kuwait’s public sector, where mobile and online services are increasingly replacing traditional in-person interactions to support efficiency and transparency.
