Marriage, Birth, and Beyond: Translating Civil Documents for Foreign Nationals in Egypt
Living in Egypt as a foreign national often involves more than just visas and permits—it includes building a life, getting married, starting a family, and handling civil paperwork across borders.
Whether you’re marrying an Egyptian citizen, registering your child’s birth, or updating your legal status with an embassy abroad, you’ll need certified translations of your civil documents—often into both Arabic and English.
At COT Translation Services, we provide accurate, legally recognized translations for all civil documents, trusted by embassies, consulates, and government authorities in Egypt and internationally.

Real-Life Scenarios We Help With
Getting Married in Egypt
Foreign nationals marrying Egyptians must submit a certified translated version of their passport, birth certificate, and previous marital status documents, if applicable.
Registering a Child’s Birth Abroad
To register a child born in Egypt at a foreign embassy, you’ll often need a certified translation of the Egyptian birth certificate into the embassy’s official language.
Divorcing or Updating Marital Status Abroad
Divorce papers issued in Egypt must be translated and legalized for recognition in your home country.
Why Professional Translation Matters for Civil Documents
Civil documents require not only linguistic accuracy, but also legal formatting, correct name transliteration, and matching local registry terms.
Mistakes or informal translations may lead to:
Rejection by embassies
Delays in registration or visa issuance
Legal complications for children or spouses abroad
At COT, we ensure your documents are formatted and translated precisely, in line with embassy and legal office requirements.
