Kuwait embassy requirements (diplomas) for non Kuwaitis:
Kuwaiti Embassy does not accept for legalization/authentication online degrees or degrees based on experience. Only degrees from accredited U.S. based universities can be legalized.
To authenticate a diploma from an accredited U.S. college / university, the applicant has to provide the following:
- the original diploma
- a sealed transcript
- a verified certificate from the National Student Clearinghouse
- a copy of the applicant's valid passport and driver's license
The original diploma:
The diploma has to be original or a copy certified and notarized by the school. Then the diploma needs to be authenticated on the state level, and then legalized by the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC. We will take care of the whole legalization procedure and the original diploma will be ready for the Kuwait embassy.
Sealed transcript:
This means that your college or university will need to put your transcript in a sealed envelope. This sealed envelope has to be submitted to the embassy along with the legalized original diploma.
Verified certificate from the National Student Clearinghouse:
The National Student Clearinghouse verifies enrollment and graduation information for students of most public and private U.S. institutions.
Please note that the National Student Clearinghouse is increasing the price of the DegreeVerify service to $14.95 per confirmed transaction, plus applicable school surcharges, effective March 1, 2017.
