Anglo–Nile International Legal Services Ltd is a UK-registered company working exclusively under Egyptian law for foreign clients. We deliver clear, step-by-step support for the marriage of British citizens in Egypt—from preparing documents to coordinating civil registration at the Ministry of Justice—so your process stays compliant, efficient, and stress-free.
All foreign marriages, including the marriage of British citizens in Egypt, are concluded under Egyptian civil law at the Ministry of Justice (Marriage Office for Foreigners). This ensures your Egyptian marriage certificate is valid and recognised under Egyptian law. Our guidance focuses exclusively on Egyptian procedures.
Typically required: a valid passport, recent photos, and proof of marital status such as a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) or an affirmation. Foreign-language documents must be translated into Arabic and properly legalised before acceptance by Egyptian authorities handling the marriage of British citizens in Egypt.
Depending on the case, additional papers (e.g., the Egyptian partner’s national ID) may be needed. Accuracy, translation quality, and full legalisation are essential for approval.
Submit your file to the Marriage Office for Foreigners in Cairo, attend in person with two adult witnesses, and sign the Arabic marriage contract once eligibility is verified. This step is central to the marriage of British citizens in Egypt and is performed entirely under Egyptian law.
We coordinate timings and documents with the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt to avoid delays and keep your procedure smooth and compliant.
After issuance, many couples legalise the certificate at the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and obtain certified English translations for use abroad. These steps help ensure the certificate from the marriage of British citizens in Egypt is ready for immigration or personal records.
As a UK-registered company operating solely under Egyptian law, we provide structured, end-to-end support for the marriage of British citizens in Egypt: document preparation, court coordination, translations, and legalisation—delivered with clarity and professionalism.
Clear, actionable, expert answers that cut through complexity—trusted, step-by-step guidance for British nationals marrying in Egypt. Proven process, fast turnaround, and full compliance with Egyptian law—confidence, clarity, and results you can rely on.
Yes. British nationals can marry in Egypt, but the marriage must be concluded under Egyptian civil law at the Ministry of Justice’s Marriage Office for Foreigners in Cairo. The British Embassy does not conduct marriages in Egypt, so the Egyptian civil process is the only valid route.
You will typically need a valid passport, recent passport-sized photos, and proof of marital status such as a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) or an Affirmation of Marital Status. If previously married, a divorce decree absolute or death certificate of a former spouse is required. All foreign documents must be officially translated into Arabic and duly legalised before acceptance by Egyptian authorities.
If all documents are complete and properly legalised, the marriage procedure at the Ministry of Justice can often be finalised within a few working days. However, additional checks or missing paperwork can extend the timeline, so preparation in advance is essential.
Yes. A marriage carried out legally in Egypt is generally recognised in the UK. To use the certificate abroad, it should be legalised by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and translated into English by a sworn translator. Obtaining several certified copies is recommended.
Yes. Both parties must attend the Marriage Office in person with two adult witnesses to sign the contract. The marriage cannot be concluded by proxy or power of attorney alone. After the ceremony, legalisation and translation steps can be handled locally on the couple’s behalf.
We deliver embassy-approved translations so your marriage is recognized internationally—with no further steps on your part.
