Egyptian Embassy Attestation
Egyptian Embassy Attestation
Egyptian Embassy attestation is the mandatory legalization step for any foreign-issued document intended for official use within Egypt. Whether you are pursuing employment, registering a family event, conducting business, or enrolling in an educational institution in Egypt, the embassy stamp confirms that your document has been properly authenticated and is eligible for acceptance by Egyptian authorities. Without this attestation, Egyptian government bodies, courts, and universities will not recognize the document's validity.
The Egyptian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Egyptian Consulate General in Dubai process attestation requests for UAE-based applicants. Each maintains strict documentation standards regarding the format, prior authentication chain, and supporting materials required for attestation. Documents must carry UAE MOFA attestation before embassy submission, and any inconsistencies in the authentication sequence will result in the document being returned without processing. The embassy also requires that certain document types be accompanied by certified Arabic translations.
GreenAttest streamlines the Egyptian Embassy attestation process by managing every stage from initial document review through final embassy collection. Our team conducts a pre-submission audit to verify that your document meets embassy standards, arranges any necessary prior attestation steps, and submits your file through the correct consular channel. We track each submission and keep you informed of progress at every stage. Whether you need a single certificate attested or a complete document package prepared, GreenAttest delivers reliable Egyptian Embassy attestation with consistent turnaround times.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Verify that your document has no visible alterations, erasures, or damage before submission, as the Egyptian Embassy will reject documents that appear tampered with.
- If your document will ultimately be submitted to a specific Egyptian ministry, confirm that ministry's requirements in advance, as some require additional steps beyond embassy attestation.
- Arrange certified Arabic translations before beginning the attestation process rather than after, as this avoids having to resubmit the document package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any foreign-issued document that will be presented to an Egyptian government ministry, court, university, or public institution requires Egyptian Embassy attestation. This includes educational certificates, marriage and birth certificates, commercial documents, powers of attorney, and employment contracts. GreenAttest can confirm whether your specific document requires embassy attestation based on its intended use in Egypt.
Yes. The Egyptian Embassy requires that documents carry UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation before they will be accepted for embassy processing. GreenAttest can manage the MOFA attestation as part of a complete service package, so you do not need to handle multiple steps separately.
Standard processing takes 5 to 8 business days from the date of embassy submission. Processing times may vary during peak periods or public holidays. GreenAttest monitors your submission status and notifies you as soon as the attested document is ready for collection.
The Egyptian Embassy may accept English-language documents for attestation, but many receiving authorities in Egypt will require a certified Arabic translation for the document to be processed. GreenAttest recommends arranging the Arabic translation before attestation to avoid delays once the document reaches Egypt.
