The Ministry of Transport has issued a new directive asking all its employees—both Kuwaiti citizens and residents—to update their academic qualifications online.
The announcement came through an administrative circular from Acting Undersecretary Mishaal Al-Zaid, directing staff to upload their qualifications on the Ministry’s official website: www.moc.gov.kw.
This step is part of a wider effort by the Council of Ministers to verify and regulate academic qualifications of government employees. It follows Cabinet Resolution No. 650, issued on February 25, 2024, which established a committee led by the Fatwa and Legislation Department to check the validity of academic certificates in government agencies..Stay updated on Kuwait’s latest news and job openings by following our WhatsApp channel!https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCkXo25q08jnKrRwo27

- Log in to the Ministry’s website
- Upload a copy of their degree certificate
- Provide a statement of their major and the country where it was issued
- Upload an equivalency certificate from the Ministry of Higher Education, if available
Deadline:
These documents must be uploaded within two weeks from Sunday, May 25, 2025.
The Ministry explained that this update ensures accurate employee records and protects workers’ rights. It also warned that failing to update information could result in legal consequences. All employees are urged to cooperate and complete the process on time.
