Egypt Context

Egyptian marriages are officiated by a licensed Ma'dhun (for Muslim marriages) or registered at the relevant Coptic church (for Coptic Christian marriages). The marriage contract is registered with the Civil Status Authority and may include detailed conditions and financial arrangements. Egypt has both Islamic and Christian marriage documentation traditions.

Document Format

Egyptian marriage certificates include the names and details of both spouses, the Mahr amount (for Muslim marriages), date and place of marriage, witnesses' details, and the Ma'dhun's name. They are heavily stamped and notarised, often across multiple pages. Coptic Christian certificates follow a different church-issued format.

What You'll Need

Clear scan or photograph of all pages of the Egyptian marriage certificate
All stamps, seals, and endorsements clearly visible
Any annexes or conditions attached to the marriage contract
Details of the intended use (e.g. spousal visa, divorce proceedings, name change)

Common Uses

Spousal visa and family reunion applications to the UK Home Office
Divorce and family law proceedings in UK courts
Changing name on UK documents after marriage
Pension, insurance, and benefits claims requiring proof of marriage
Property transactions and inheritance matters

Egyptian marriage certificates for UK use require authentication by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Egypt recently acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention, which simplifies the authentication process. We provide guidance and legalisation services.
