Car passing in Kuwait is a smooth process for new model car owners. If you buy a new car there is no need of Car passing for three years.
Checklist of major things the Car Passing Inspectors checks
1) Smoke - Black / White, make sure you don't have any type of smoke.
2) Color - Colour of Car - specially bumpers & roof.
3) Lights - Brake lights, Headlights & signal lights
4) WindScreen - Crack free
5) Tinted Glass & Stickers - Remove them if you are an expat. Kuwaiti's are exceptional :)
The best time for Expats is to get it checked @ 4pm in any of the muroors, as for expats they don't process your papers in morning. The best Muroor is Subhan & the worst is Jabriya & Shuwaikh.
Kuwaiti's can complete their paper processing at Citizen Service Office loacted at many places in Kuwait.
After they passed the car, make sure you pay any traffic violations through internet for less headache. Incase you don't have Internet access & have to process your papers in Maidan Hawally (the cashier is missing most of the time), you will be at the mercy of a Kiosk by enet, operated by a heavily face powdered filipino for a charge of .250Fils and you need to provide your own Knet card.
Then Finally your Daftar ( Car registration paper) will be recieved and relax for one year.
