KUWAIT CITY, July 26:  In an escalating campaign to preserve the integrity of Kuwait’s national identity, government sources have issued a stern warning to individuals involved in falsifying citizenship records: come forward now or face the full force of the law.

As part of an ongoing investigation by the Supreme Committee for the Acquisition of Kuwaiti Citizenship, officials say the crackdown on forged identities and falsified family records will continue indefinitely until every case is exposed. “We are tracking them one by one – no matter how long it takes,” a senior source stated that the campaign is not bound by a timeframe and will persist until “the citizenship issue is free from forgery and manipulation.”

Authorities are urging anyone who has fraudulently added names to their family file, or knows of such cases within their immediate or extended circles, to report the fraud to the Nationality Investigations Department. Officials guarantee confidentiality and promise legal leniency for those who come forward voluntarily.

“This is not just a legal obligation,” the source emphasized. “It is also a moral and religious duty. Sharia law strictly prohibits the mixing of lineages.”

In a strongly worded message aimed at offenders, one source said: “Instead of living in fear and anxiety each night, take the initiative and correct your records. If you know your so-called ‘brother’ is not your brother, report it before it’s too late.”

Officials pointed to discrepancies in inheritance files as a clear indicator of fraud. “When someone fails to appear in the declaration of heirs, it raises red flags. That omission often reveals they have no legal entitlement to the estate,” the source explained.

Moreover, authorities warned that anyone who knowingly signs an inheritance document containing false information—such as recognizing an ineligible heir or agreeing to a waiver—is complicit in fraud, even if they did not personally forge the records.

Even those who are aware of irregularities but stay silent will not be spared, as failure to report known forgery can result in criminal liability.

The government has made it clear: the time to confess and cooperate is now before legal action becomes inevitable.
