A press statement by the ministry's Public Relations and Security Media Department indicated that Interior Ministry Undersecretary Lieut-General Anwar Al-Barjas after his tour of biometric centers that the ministry would do its best to facilitate the process of registering biometric data of citizens and residents alike.

There is no need to carry out the process prior to departure from Kuwait; however, biometric scanning is required upon arrival, he reiterated.
