Kuwait PACI Launches Digital Business Data Update via Sahel App
The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) in Kuwait has launched a new digital service to facilitate a Kuwait business data update, allowing establishments to manage their contact details and electronic platform information via the Sahel Business app.
Streamlining Digital Transformation
This initiative, announced on October 15, 2026, is a key component of Kuwait's ongoing efforts toward digital transformation. By integrating these updates into the Sahel Business application, PACI aims to simplify administrative procedures for business owners, including the expatriate community, by removing the need for in-person visits to government offices.
Enhancing Navigation and E-commerce
The service directly impacts the Kuwait Finder platform, a government-backed navigation and address tool. Kuwait Finder allows users to locate shops, services, and landmarks using specific PACI numbers. By ensuring this data remains current, the initiative provides several key benefits:
- Improved Accuracy: Residents, visitors, and delivery services can find business locations more reliably.
- Support for E-commerce: Verified and up-to-date location information supports the growing digital marketplace and delivery operations.
- Operational Efficiency: Entrepreneurs can maintain their digital presence with minimal effort.
Key Impacted Areas
The ability to maintain accurate, verified location information is expected to be particularly beneficial in high-density commercial hubs, such as:
- Salmiya
- Hawally
- Farwaniya
- The Capital Governorate
