If you can’t get to a traffic department yourself, someone else can now go for you. Kuwait’s Interior Ministry said on Monday 9 November 2026 that 18 traffic transactions can be completed by a representative, as long as the owner first approves it electronically in the Hawyti app.

What you need
The one condition in the announcement is the electronic authentication in Hawyti before your representative turns up. The ministry did not spell out the steps inside the app or the documents the representative should carry, so it is worth checking with the traffic department before the trip.
