Egypt is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Egypt therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Egypt embassy or consulate legalises it.
Foreign documents for Egypt are certified by the issuing authority or a notary, authenticated by the foreign ministry of the issuing country and legalised by the Egyptian embassy or consulate there. Egyptian authorities generally require an Arabic translation, which the consulate may certify.
Egyptian documents for use abroad are authenticated by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the embassy of the destination country in Egypt. Egypt does not issue apostilles, so this applies even when the destination is a Convention country.
Typical cases are marriages involving an Egyptian national (certificates of no impediment, birth certificates), powers of attorney for property or inheritance in Egypt, and export documents for Egyptian import registrations.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Egypt.
- Ask whether the Egyptian consulate should certify the Arabic translation
- For marriages, check the Egyptian authority’s document list before ordering certificates
- Commercial documents are usually certified by a chamber of commerce before the foreign ministry
