How the Legal Process Works for Marriage Services for Foreign Nationals in Egypt


1. Document Verification

We begin by reviewing and preparing all required documents. Once verified, the paperwork is submitted to the Office for Foreigners’ Marriages at the Egyptian Ministry of Justice. This proactive step helps prevent delays and ensures proper filing.

2. Official Interview

Both parties attend a brief interview at the Ministry of Justice. This is a legal requirement to confirm eligibility, consent, and compliance with Egyptian personal status laws.

3. Signing the Marriage Contract

The marriage contract is signed in Arabic before two male witnesses. We guide you through each article and facilitate signing through licensed Egyptian lawyers who collaborate and work with the company in Egypt.

4. Registration & Legalisation

Once executed, the contract is stamped by the Notary and legalised at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our company also facilitates:
  • Consular legalisation where required
  • Certified translation into English or other official languages
  • Assistance in ensuring recognition abroad

With Anglo–Nile International Legal Services LTD, a UK-registered limited company, the entire process is handled under direct agreement with you. The company assumes full legal responsibility for fulfilling all obligations agreed with the client, coordinating each stage through our UK legal structure while engaging certified Egyptian professionals to complete all local procedures in full compliance with Egyptian law.
