A Consular officer at the Embassy of Kuwait in Ottawa confirmed during a 29 May 2003 telephone interview that the Executive Committee for the Foreign Affairs of Illegal residents issues Bidoon residents in Kuwait a personal document referred to as an "Alien Reporting Card for Bidoons." The official also confirmed that this document is plastic, wallet-sized and divided into three columns with a photo of the subject in the far left column.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
