- Regular passport (blue cover): issued to citizens of Kuwait.
- Special passport (green cover): a special passport issued to the Kuwaiti ruling family, members of parliament and high-ranking government officials.
- Diplomatic passport (red cover): a diplomatic passport issued to diplomats serving in Kuwaiti embassies abroad and to high-ranking officials from the executive branch.
- Article 17 passport (gray cover): a passport issued to the stateless or bedoon population in Kuwait for international travel. This passport does not hold the same visa requirements as the regular Kuwaiti passport.
