I am from India.I got a job offer in Kuwait. I attested my degree certificate from HRD,MEA and Kuwait embassy in India. HR(in Kuwait) asked me to send my original degree certificate to him to apply Kuwait work visa. Is the original degree certificate really required for applying Kuwait work visa. why they need original certificate,is scan or photostat copy not enough.I am little bit afraid to send the original certificate. Please advise me on this.

I took mine certificate and a copy of the certificate to a lawyer and he Notorized it as a true copy. I gave this copy which has the lawyer's certificate attached. This was okay for my employer.

Thank you all for the reply. Why they need original certificate ,the certificate already attested by HRD, MEA and Kuwait embassy India.Will they go for university verification that's the reason they need original certificate.? Normally university verification takes long time.

I need to find a notary public in kuwait, or a lawyer able to certify true copies of my degrees. I need to send those copies abroad. Does anyone know where I should go to get this job done?

hey dear,

yes, in order to apply for the working visa, they need the original university degree, it's mandatory .. you will get it back once they issue your civil ID.
