For notarial documents issued in the UK for use in Egypt, a special service is available through the Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce (EBCC). By onboarding with the EBCC and certifying the documents with the Chamber, these documents will not require an apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Instead, they can be directly legalized by the Egyptian Consulate for use in Egypt.

This streamlined process saves valuable time and money, as it eliminates the need for an FCDO apostille, reduces the steps involved, and removes the necessity of attending the consulate in person.

Examples of notarial documents eligible for this service include:

• Affidavits
• Powers of Attorney
• Wills
• Deeds Poll for Name Changes
• Contracts
• Statutory Declarations

By certifying your notarial documents with the EBCC, you ensure they are legally recognized in Egypt for purposes such as legal proceedings, property transactions, or other official matters. The EBCC’s certification will then allow these documents to be legalized by the Egyptian Consulate, making them ready for use in Egypt without the need for further apostille procedures. This service significantly saves both time and money.
