Certified Translation Services for Chinese Investors in Egypt
Why Chinese Investors Need Certified Translation in Egypt
When expanding into the Egyptian market, Chinese companies face an essential requirement: all documents submitted to Egyptian authorities must be in Arabic and certified by a professional translation office.
Whether you are registering a company, opening a bank account, or signing a commercial contract, certified translations are legally required at every step of your investment journey.
Egyptian institutions such as:
GAFI (General Authority for Investment)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Commercial Registry.
Tax Authority.
Courts and Notaries.
…will only accept documents that are professionally translated and officially stamped.
What Is a Certified Translation in Egypt?
A certified translation is an official document translated from the original language into Arabic, accompanied by:
A professional translator’s signature and stamp.
The stamp of a certified translation office.
An attached affidavit or declaration confirming the accuracy of the translation.
Sometimes, authentication from the Egyptian Ministry of Justice or Foreign Affairs.
For Chinese investors, this process ensures that your documents are legally valid and officially recognized in Egypt.
Key Documents Requiring Certified Translation
As a Chinese investor, you will need certified Arabic translations of the following documents:
Company & Legal Documents:
Articles of Incorporation.
Business licenses and company registry extracts.
Power of Attorney.
Board resolutions.
Commercial contracts and MOUs.
Financial & Tax Documents:
Bank references.

Challenges Faced by Chinese Investors
Many Chinese companies struggle to meet Egypt’s strict bureaucratic requirements due to:
Language barriers (Mandarin to Arabic).
Legal terminology complexities.
Poor-quality or machine translations being rejected.
Delays in the legalization process.
A mistake in translation can delay your company setup, invalidate a contract, or lead to rejection by GAFI or the embassy.
