Kuwait Certificate of Existence Legalization Services

When expanding your business into Kuwait or conducting official transactions with Kuwaiti entities, proving your company’s legal existence is a critical step. A Certificate of Existence is a formal document issued by the Secretary of State that confirms a company’s legal registration and active status. However, for this certificate to be accepted in Kuwait, it must be properly legalized through a multi-step authentication process.

What is a Certificate of Existence?

A Certificate of Existence serves as official confirmation that a company is legally registered, has paid all required fees, and is authorized to operate within its state of incorporation. This document includes essential details such as:

  • The official name of the business.

  • Business type (LLC, Corporation, etc.)

  • Status (active, in good standing, etc.)

  • Registration date.

  • Validity confirmation by the Secretary of State.

When submitting this certificate to Kuwaiti government agencies, banks, or business partners, it must go through an extensive legalization process to be considered valid and enforceable under Kuwaiti law.
