Travelers sent back from airport – Vaccination certificates don’t match passport – ARAB TIMES – KUWAIT NEWS – Arab Times Kuwait English Daily

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 14: New crisis has surfaced recently with Kuwaiti citizens and expats after discovering on airport that the names mentioned on their vaccination certificates did not match their names as written on the passport or civil ID, the names were either misspelled or missing between the Ministry of Health and the Public Authority for Civil Information.

The problems appeared in the number of passengers departing to London, for security reasons alerts were raised for those who are vaccinated with approved vaccines to be exempted from quarantine. Many passengers travelling to Britain were forced to return from the airport as they were denied boarding the planes due to differences in Latin names on their passports and vaccination certificates did not match. The passengers were in crisis as visa names and PCR certificates matched exactly to the passport.
