Egypt offers a clear pathway for foreign nationals and mixed-nationality couples to marry under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice. For international clients, success depends on three things: document readiness, bilingual accuracy, and correct sequencing across embassies, translators, and Egyptian authorities. Missteps can cause avoidable refusals or long delays.
ANGLO–NILE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL SERVICES LTD is a UK-registered company that contracts directly with clients and assumes responsibility for organising and coordinating the agreed scope.

Civil/Islamic marriages before the Ministry of Justice, with optional church coordination for Christian couples where relevant. We prepare documents, schedule attendance, and manage legalisation so the Arabic contract is valid in Egypt and recognisable abroad.
Note: embassy policies and personal-status particulars may affect sequencing and timelines; we reflect these in your written plan.
Timelines depend on embassy appointments and MoJ scheduling. We set expectations in writing and keep you updated in English throughout.
