    Legalization of documents is an essential prerequisite for numerous personal, academic, and business activities in Egypt. Whether you are securing a new position, pursuing higher education, establishing a company, or simply seeking to validate your legal status, fully legalized documentation is non-negotiable.

    At Expats Link, we specialize in guiding individuals and organizations through Egypt’s intricate document legalization landscape. The process is governed by the regulations of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and frequently intersects with specific requirements of embassies, universities, notaries, and other authorities. Attention to detail, up-to-date legal knowledge, and reliable execution are the cornerstones of our approach.

    Legalization refers to the formal attestation of a document’s authenticity, proving its validity for official recognition in Egypt. This generally involves multiple steps: preliminary certification by an originating authority, authentication through the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and, where applicable, consular legalization by a relevant embassy. Each type of document whether it’s an academic degree, birth certificate, corporate document, or legal proxy follows a tailored legalization route, often requiring certified translations and supplementary paperwork.

    Our expertise covers a comprehensive range of documents, including but not limited to:

    *
    Educational certificates and transcripts

    Birth, marriage, and divorce certificates
