Personal documents issued in the UK for use in Egypt must be apostilled by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and subsequently legalised by the General Consulate of the Arab Republic of Egypt in the UK. In some cases, these documents may also require certification by a notary or solicitor.

Examples of personal documents requiring this process include Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, Death Certificates, Adoption Papers, Police Clearance Certificates, Divorce Papers, Affidavits, Deeds Poll for Name Changes, and Medical Reports. This process ensures that the documents are legally recognized in Egypt for purposes such as marriage, employment, legal proceedings, or residency applications.
