Overview
The right power of attorney lets you complete your matter in Egypt without attending every step. We agree the type and wording with you, and make sure it is accepted by the authority that will use it.
This service is for you if you are:
- Live outside Egypt and have a matter here.
- Are part of a marriage, divorce or residence procedure and can't attend.
- Want to authorise the firm to follow up your file.
What we usually need from you
- A valid passport for the principal (the person giving the power of attorney).
- The agent's details and ID.
- A clear statement of the purpose of the power of attorney.
- For a power of attorney issued abroad: what's needed to legalise it so it's accepted in Egypt.
This list is a guide only. The documents you need depend on your nationality, your religion and the country that issued your documents, and they can change by decision of the competent authority. We give you your final list once we have reviewed your documents.
How your file moves forward
- We identify the purpose of the power of attorney, and the authority that will use it.
- We draft the right wording for that purpose.
- The power of attorney is notarised in Egypt, or in your country of residence before the competent authority.
- We legalise it when needed, then use it in your matter.
