The new legislation mandates all men to undergo compulsory military training as they reach the age of 18. They are further required to be in the reserve forces until the age of 45 years.
After being drafted all conscripts will also be required to undergo 30 days of military service every year until they turn 45.
The law will be implemented by 2017, media reports implied.
Citizens looking to evade being drafted into the army will face a two-year jail term.
But those who turn 35 at the time of implementation will be exempted.
Military training can also be delayed if the candidates want to complete their studies, are single sons or have dependents who are handicapped.
Lawmakers have also passed a non-binding recommendation to exempt citizens working in the private sector from mandatory military service in an effort to encourage them to join the private sector.
Kuwait, which suspended obligatory military service in 2001, has been periodically debating whether to reinstate the service. However, such suggestions were shot down by military commanders who were concerned about the logistical burden that the ruling would impose on the army.
Gulf Arab countries have started compulsory military enlisting over recent years as geopolitical tension and radical militant factions have gained strength in the region.
