Kuwait to issue civil cards for foreign wives of Kuwaitis with revoked nationality.

KUWAIT CITY, March 9: The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) is set to issue civil cards this week for foreign wives of Kuwaitis whose nationalities were revoked under Article 8, according to informed sources.

The sources revealed that before issuing the civil cards, an organizational decision will be implemented for this specific group. The nationality field on their cards will reflect the term "Kuwaiti treatment," indicating their status following the revocation of nationality.

This decision marks an important step in addressing the cases of individuals affected by Article 8 of the nationality law.
