FAQ

Does Egypt issue apostilles? +

Can I get photocopies legalized by the 

Egyptian Embassy in Ontario?

Yes, but only if your documents have been

certified as a “true copy” by a notary or a
commissioner of oaths. Plain photocopies cannot
be legalized.

How long does it take to attest a document 

at the Egyptian Embassy in Ontario?

The entire process can take at least 4 weeks.

Legalizing a personal Canadian document

involves having it first authenticated by Global
A!airs Canada in Ottawa. Legalizing a
commercial document also requires
authentication by the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce or Board of Trade prior to sending it
to the Embassy of Egypt.

Global A!airs Canada requires 10 business days

from the day the request is delivered to the
o"ce. One must allow a further 5 business days
for mailing time.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has an

online portal for certifying business documents.
Multi-page and high-volume requests can be
processed the same day provided they are
submitted online no later than 3:00PM.

The Egypt Consulate generally processes

personal documents within a short time of
receiving them. Business documents are
legalized within 2 business days.

That said, since there is more than one entity

involved, it is possible that the legalization
process will take longer than indicated.

At Document Authentication Canada we work

closely with the Egypt Embassy in Canada and
Global A!airs Canada to facilitate and expedite
the legalization process. Get in touch with our
expert team on XXX XXX for assistance

What does an Egypt attestation look like? 

The Egypt Embassy generally applies a

legalization stamp on the back of your document.
However, the Embassy of Egypt may attach these
where it deems best. The Egypt Embassy uses
both ink stamps and stickers when legalizing
documents.
