Egyptian identification

Egyptian ID’s are not issued from the Egyptian Consulate General, they are only issued in Egypt. However, the Ministry of Interior has recently sent delegations from Egypt to the Consulate to process ID applications. We will always announce these visits well in advance on our website.
