Article 14 of Code of Civil Procedure

English translation

The domicile of a minor, a person under interdiction, a missing person, and an absent person shall be the domicile of the person legally representing them. The domicile of a legal person shall be the place where its administrative headquarters are located. Nevertheless, the place where one of its branches is located may be considered a domicile in respect of matters falling within that branch's activities. For a legal person whose principal headquarters are abroad and which conducts activities in Kuwait, the place where its local administration is located shall be considered its domicile in respect of those activities.
Arabic original
موطن القاصر والمحجور عليه والمفقود والغائب هو موطن من ينوب عنه قانوناً. وموطن الشخص الاعتباري هو المكان الذي يوجد فيه مركز إداراته، ومع ذلك يجوز اعتبار المكان الذي يوجد فيه أحد فروعه موطناً بالنسبة لما يدخل في نشاط هذا الفرع والشخص الاعتباري الذي يكون مركزه الرئيسي في الخارج وله نشاط في الكويت يعتبر المكان الذي توجد فيه إدارته المحلية موطناً بالنسبة الى ذلك النشاط .
