Since you are outside Kuwait you need to go to the Kuwait embassy, if you can.
The Embassy of the State of Kuwait advices that the following in your situation :
The documents that are required for the processing of the Kuwaiti Police Clearance Certificate (P.C.C): Are as follows :
1. Request letter, providing them all your personal details, with your employer's name. their location and ALL of the addresses that you stayed and the duration at that place. If you have friends there ask them for the current details such as postal addresses etc., which will pin point to your place. Things have changed a lot since you moved out.
2. Original Finger Print Report from your country of origin attested by Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) in India. [Finger Prints Report can be obtained at any local Police Station and the attestation of the report can be done at DFAT branch. It is for you to locate this place and address.
3. Copy of YOUR Passport, old and new.
4. Copy of the Kuwaiti Residence (if available), such as lease or rental receipts.
5. Two (2) passport size photographs. Preferably in color.
6. Money Order of .................. addressed to the Embassy. Find out how much?
7. Self Addressed Pre-paid Envelope or a Pre Paid Courier envelope. (You only pay if it is used)
Once the documents are received, the P.C.C will be under process right away and once the P.C.C is received from the Kuwaiti government, you will be sent the Original P.C.C immediately. Make sufficient copies as you will be asked many times over about this in your life.
Please note that the processing of the P.C.C can take between 10 -12 weeks. Minimum.
By Law any Kuwaiti embassy should provide you with this service, if you have the proper documents to support at the time of the request. Call the embassy and I am sure that they will be more helpful.
Hope this helps,

Here is a question and answer section from Kuwaiti "Arab Times" Newspaper. You also lived there and might have seen one in your hay days.

Police certificate
I am an Indian who used to live in Kuwait many years ago. I stayed there for 10 years before I moved to my country for good. Now I have applied for immigration to another country, which has asked for a Police Certificate for the duration I lived in Kuwait. How can I get this certificate in my own country and also without giving a power of attorney to someone in Kuwait to process the papers for me.

Answer: It’s a very simple procedure. Just contact the nearest Kuwait Embassy or Consulate in your country and apply for a Police Certificate — giving some details about your Kuwait residence number or Civil ID number through which your record can be traced. The embassy will then complete the rest of the procedure and also give you an approximate date to collect the certificate.

My friend has applied for immigration to Canada and as part of the immigration process, has to get a Kuwait Police Clearance Certificate. He approached the Kuwait consulate and was told that he would have to submit a copy of fingerprints.When he asked at where he could obtain the said fingerprints the guy ' a malyalee' at the counter rudely told him that it was not his job to give all the info. His behaviour is typical of many indians working at foreign consulates, but having said that, does any one know the address in mumbai where my friend can obtain a set of finger prints so he can submit it.
I was told it had to be got from a CID office, but after a lot of queries we have drawn a blank.I would appreciate a response from those who have had to go through the same process in mumbai
there are agents working working outside consulates who can help you ,not sure. i have seen people are getting the documents translated in arabic and to get the attestment through the agents sitting on the road side. my friend is not from mumbai. yeah i agree the indians in the consulate are very rude but what else can you expect from them, they think themselves as our british Gora sahabs(masters). i never expect any good behaviour from indians in any govt dept either in india or on any foreign country let alone any help.
