Kuwait Experience Certificate Maker

When an employee leaves a Kuwaiti private-sector employer, they need a certificate of service for their next job, a visa transfer or attestation back home. DocMak writes it from the facts you enter—name, civil ID or passport, job title, start and end dates—in Arabic and English on your company letterhead.

Opens the DocMak experience certificate editor.

The employer's duty under Kuwaiti labour law

Kuwait's private-sector Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 gives a departing worker the right to a certificate of service from the employer, free of charge. Keep it factual: what the person did and when, not a reference or a judgement of performance unless the employee asks for one.

What to state on the certificate

Embassies, new employers and attestation offices look for the same facts:

  • Full name as in the passport or civil ID
  • Civil ID or passport number
  • Job title, matching the work permit where possible
  • Start date and last working day
  • Company name, address and commercial registration
  • Signature, name and title of the signatory, and the company stamp

Getting the certificate attested

If the employee will use the certificate abroad, it usually needs attestation, often starting with the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Issue it on letterhead, signed and stamped, so it is accepted at the first counter.
