Police Certificate: Kuwait

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has obtain a police certificate from Kuwait (while not living there and being unable to travel there in person) - and if they would be willing to share their experiences. My husband and I are facing challenges on this front and I would very much appreciate any info or advice anyone has to provide.

My husband lived in Kuwait for a year and a half in the mid 1980's. Consequently we have to submit a police certificate from this country as part of his application. According to the CIC website, there are three ways to obtain the certificate if no longer living in the country:

1) visit in person [too expensive for us to consider]
2) send a representative on our behalf [we are trying to find an expat contact there but aren't sure if we are going to be successful]
3) obtain the certificate from a Kuwaiti embassy or consulate [my husband spoke with them by phone and if we go this route, they still expect him to either visit Kuwait in person or send a representative]

In short, option #3 doesn't seem to exist and it appears that only options #1 and #2 are available.

Needless to say, we're very concered about how we are going to meet this application criteria.

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide.
