'We Know Who's Hiding in Your Kuwaiti Family File' - One Phone Call Could Save You From Prison
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.

Gulf Brother's Fake Kuwaiti Identity Exposed in Shocking Scam
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 14: A man's shocking confession has led to the exposure of a complex forgery case involving a fake Gulf national who defrauded his own brothers using a fabricated Kuwaiti identity. The case began when a man arrived at a police station in a state of hysteria, declaring, 'I am a forger… I am not my father's son.' Authorities at the Nationality Investigations Department treated the matter with utmost seriousness, collecting a DNA sample from the man and comparing it to the record of his deceased father. The test revealed a perfect match, proving he was indeed his father's biological son — and that his dramatic confession was false. However, the incident prompted a deeper examination of historical files. In 2011, the Department of Nationality had documented a case involving a Kuwaiti citizen whose son, actually a Gulf national, was fraudulently registered under his name. The son had entered and exited Kuwait using forged documents, as detailed in photographs attached to the case file. Investigations uncovered a convoluted scheme: four Gulf brothers had transferred an inheritance to a Kuwaiti merchant to manage and invest, expecting monthly returns. Months passed with no profits, prompting the brothers to file a lawsuit. During the legal proceedings, it emerged that the merchant — their fourth brother — had assumed a Kuwaiti identity to defraud them. Shockingly, he even produced a Gulf death certificate claiming the 'Kuwaiti citizen' (himself under the fake identity) had died in an accident, causing the lawsuit to be dismissed. Further verification revealed the death certificate was entirely forged, and the doctor who signed it had left the country years ago. Exploiting the deception, the fraudster continued entering and exiting Kuwait with his Gulf ID, assuming his fabricated Kuwaiti persona had 'died.' An arrest warrant was later issued, but he has since avoided returning to Kuwait. Authorities discovered that the man's file lists 34 dependents, all registered as his children. None have obtained official identity cards since 2015. The case is now under review by the Supreme Committee, which is preparing to revoke his falsified Kuwaiti citizenship — along with that of all 34 'children.' This case highlights the sophisticated lengths to which fraudsters may go — and Kuwait's determination to uncover the truth, no matter how elaborate the deception.
