Kuwait Civil ID Payment
PACI’s “Card & Fine Payment” page is where you check what you owe on a Civil ID before you pay anything. Use the “Payment Inquiry” form with your Civil No. to check what you owe. PACI’s public pages state the inquiry form, the individual fees PACI confirms, and 1 contact number. The payment page itself states no fee amounts, no payment methods, and no steps, so the page alone cannot take you through a payment.
Before you begin: Have your Civil No. ready. It is the 1 field the Payment Inquiry form asks for.
Kuwait Civil ID payment amount owed
- The PACI page titled Card & Fine Payment has a “Payment Inquiry” section
- It asks for 1 field only: your Civil No.
- The buttons are Submit, Reset Form and Pay.
- The result table has the columns Civil No, Card Fees, Envelope Fees, Fine and Total.
Before any inquiry the table shows no result rows and a default total of 0 K.D.
No fee amount, payment method, step list, or document list appears on this page. What happens after Submit or Pay was not tested. No sign-in, payment gateway, or amount display after inquiry appears on the checked pages.
Fees PACI confirms for Civil ID cards
- Card renewal, Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti: 5 dinars, paid through PACI’s website or the Sahel app. The Kuwaiti renewal page adds that renewal can also be done automatically by telephone or SMS on 1889988, with no request to change the photograph.
- Late registration, non-Kuwaiti renewal: a violation of 20 dinars, payable online on the PACI website, is recorded for late registration by more than 30 days from the residence issue date for Articles 17, 23 and 24, and by more than 60 days from the work-permit issue date for Articles 18 and 19. This is the only late or renewal fine amount found on the pages checked. No general fine scale is stated.
- Lost or damaged card replacement, Kuwaiti: 20 dinars, paid through PACI’s website or the Sahel app. The non-Kuwaiti replacement route and its 20 KD fee are covered in the separate replacement guide.
- “To whom it may concern” certificate: 1 dinar, paid by K-Net. This is the only K-Net mention found on PACI’s public pages, and it belongs to this certificate only. It is not stated on the card and fine payment page.
PACI’s Applications Guide lists individual fees on separate procedure pages. Each fee sits under its own procedure. There is no consolidated fee table on PACI’s public pages.
The renewal pages state that people with moderate or severe disability are exempt from civil-card issue and renewal fees on proof from the Public Authority for Disabled Affairs, under Law No. 8 of 2010.
5 KD new card fee after correction
Do not confuse a different 5 KD figure with these fees. The Hawyti (Mobile ID) FAQ states: after validating and correcting your data in MOI, you must issue a new Civil ID and pay the 5 KD fee.
That 5 KD is for issuing a new Civil ID after an MOI data correction. It is never a Mobile ID fee and never a general renewal fee.
PACI contact number and branches
PACI’s published contact number on the pages checked is 1889988. The PACI contact page offers a contact form and lists branches including the Main Branch in South Surra, Al-Ahmadi and Al-Jahraa, Liberation Tower, and Government Mall locations.
No PACI email address is displayed on the pages checked.
Unstated fees and payment details
No envelope-fee amount, smart-card fee, delivery fee or delivery method, or temporary-certificate fee is stated on PACI’s public pages. No payment method, gateway, receipt, refund, processing time, or step-by-step payment instruction is stated on the payment page. No Sahel in-app payment flow and no kiosk payment are stated anywhere checked. No general fine scale is stated beyond the 1 late-registration example in the fees list.
