Certified Translation Services for Expats in Egypt | COT Translation
Living in Egypt as an expat? Learn why working with a certified local translation office is essential for your documents, visas, and legal processes.
Why Expats in Egypt Should Work with a Certified Local Translator
If you’re living, working, or studying in Egypt as a foreign national, chances are you’ve had to translate official documents—whether for immigration, housing contracts, banking, university applications, or embassy appointments.
And while online services may seem convenient, when it comes to certified translations that are legally accepted, nothing replaces the reliability of a local, professional translation office.
That’s why hundreds of expats in Cairo, Maadi, Zamalek, and New Cairo trust COT Translation Services for fast, certified, and embassy-approved document translations.
When Do Expats in Egypt Need Certified Translation?
For Immigration and Residency Permits
Arabic translations of passports, birth certificates, police clearances, and employment letters are often required for residency visa renewal or family sponsorship.
For Opening Bank Accounts or Signing Contracts
Some Egyptian banks request Arabic versions of your employment letter, income statements, or passport. Real estate agents and landlords may also require translated rental contracts or IDs.
For Enrolling in Universities or Schools
If your children attend school in Egypt or you’re applying to a university, academic certificates, transcripts, and language test results may need to be translated and certified.
For Embassy Procedures
Whether you’re getting married, applying for a visa, registering a child, or renewing documents, embassies require legally recognized, certified translations with clear formatting and stamps.
