How to Renew Your Egyptian Passport from Abroad: Requirements, Translation, and Embassy Process
If you’re living outside Egypt and your passport is about to expire—or has already expired—you can renew it through the Egyptian embassy or consulate in your country of residence.
But be prepared: you’ll need to follow a strict list of requirements, provide the correct documentation, and, in many cases, get certified translations of foreign-issued documents.
Here’s your full guide to renewing your Egyptian passport abroad in 2025.
Required Documents for Passport Renewal
Each embassy may have slight variations, but these are the core requirements:
Old passport (expired or expiring).
National ID card(valid for adult applicants (over 16)).
Computerized birth certificate (for those without national ID).
Proof of residency abroad (visa, residence permit).
Recent passport-sized photos (white background, no glasses).
Completed renewal application form.
Marriage certificate (if surname changed after marriage).
Academic certificates (if applying as a student).
Any foreign documents (e.g., marriage certificate, degree) must be translated into Arabic and certified by a recognized translation office.
Where to Apply: Your Local Egyptian Embassy or Consulate
You must visit or send your application to the nearest:
Egyptian Embassy
Egyptian Consulate General
They’ll handle identity verification, process your documents, and forward everything to Cairo if necessary.
In some countries, online booking is required before visiting the embassy.
Processing Time
In many cases, passport renewals take 3 to 6 weeks.
If documents are missing or translations are incorrect, delays may occur.
Emergency travel documents may be available if you need to return urgently.
Translation Requirements
You’ll need a certified Arabic translation if any of your documents are issued abroad in another language, including:
Marriage certificate.
Foreign university degree.
Birth certificate (non-Egyptian born children).
Name change documents.
