The Egyptian Ministry of Interior has introduced a service allowing parents to notify language schools of their child's Egyptian nationality if they hold a foreign passport. This service is provided through the General Administration for Passports, Immigration and Nationality. Parents can initiate the application process online and then complete it by presenting the required documents and paying the prescribed fees.
The service is available to either parent of the student or their legal representative, who can submit the application with a formal power of attorney. To apply, parents must attach several original documents, including the student's birth certificate, their own birth certificate, the student's grandfather's birth certificate from their father's side, the student's valid foreign passport, and proof of the applicant's identity.
The required documents also include the student's birth certificate from the language school. The application process involves paying a fee of 515 Egyptian pounds, in addition to administrative fees and stamp duties. An additional 20 Egyptian pounds is charged for the electronic service. According to the General Administration for Passports, Immigration and Nationality, the service is completed within 72 hours.
The Interior Ministry emphasized that submitting the application online does not exempt the applicant from appearing in person at the administration to present the original documents, pay the fees, and stamp duties. The ministry also noted that the fees are non-refundable after submitting the application online.
This service is part of the efforts by the General Administration for Passports, Immigration and Nationality to provide citizens with various services related to nationality, immigration, and travel. The administration offers several services to facilitate procedures for citizens.
