Why Legal Translation Matters in Egypt (أهمية الترجمة القانونية في مصر)
Submitting non-certified translations in Egypt can lead to rejections or delays, especially when dealing with government or legal procedures. Whether you’re applying for a visa, registering a marriage or birth, or submitting court or business documents, Egyptian authorities require translations that meet strict certification standards.
Institutions such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and the Civil Status Organization (CSO) only accept translations that include an official stamp, a signed certificate of accuracy, and correct page formatting. It also applies to many embassies and consulates operating in Cairo and across Egypt.
With Translayte, your documents are translated by certified professionals who understand the exact legal format and acceptance criteria used by Egyptian authorities. Every translation is delivered ready for submission and complete with seals and signatures that meet official requirements. If your case requires legalisation or notarisation, our team guides you on the exact steps to keep your file compliant from day one.

Legalisation & Notarisation Process in Egypt (إجراءات التصديق والتوثيق في مصر)
Depending on where your documents will be used, you may only need a certified translation, or you may need additional steps, such as notarisation and MOFA legalisation. Translayte ensures your documents follow the correct process to meet the standards of Egyptian and international authorities.
Here’s what the process typically involves;
Certified Translation: Your document is translated accurately, stamped, and issued with a certificate of accuracy and official seal. You usually only need this for submissions within Egypt.
Notarisation (Shahr El Aqli): Some documents, such as powers of attorney, affidavits, and commercial contracts, must be notarised to confirm the translator’s or signatory’s identity. This step is handled through an Egyptian notary public.
MOFA Legalisation (وزارة الخارجية): If your translated document will be used outside Egypt or submitted to a foreign embassy, it must be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This confirms that the notary or issuing authority’s signature is genuine.
Embassy Attestation: For documents intended for use abroad, the embassy or consulate of the destination country may require final attestation after MOFA legalisation.
Whatever you need, our team will advise you on the exact steps for your situation.
