AL MAHDY LAW FIRM
Document Legalization in Egypt: MFA & Consular Attestation
VIP assistance with educational certificates and official documents in Cairo and Giza. Al Mahdy Law Firm coordinates document preparation and follow-up for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consular attestation, within the agreed authorisation.
A single point of contact for your documents
Mahmoud Abdel Hamid Mahdy and his team organise the file, identify the intended receiving authority and explain the steps to be checked before you hand over originals. VIP means attentive coordination and less effort for you; it does not buy priority from a ministry or consulate.
What to prepare for the first discussion
- Educational certificates and academic records
- Birth, marriage and other available official extracts
- Existing stamps, translations and prior attestations
- The country and organisation that will receive the document
How the service starts
- Tell us where the document was issued and where it will be used.
- The team checks the document category and the route with the relevant authority.
- Agree the authorisation, original-document handling, scope and fee breakdown.
- Follow up on the agreed steps and confirm how the originals will be returned.
Timing, fees and original documents
Professional fees, authority charges, translation and delivery are itemised before work begins. A proposed timeframe depends on the complete file and the relevant authority’s schedule. Agree whether originals are needed, who holds them and how they will be returned.
Official reference
Check the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ document-category guidance and the receiving consulate’s requirements before starting. The route varies by document and issuing country.
Egyptian MFA — authentication procedures (Arabic)Questions answered
Can you arrange MFA and consular attestation?
The firm assists with preparation and follow-up for the agreed documents and authorities. The required sequence depends on the issuing country, document type and receiving authority; confirm it before starting.
What should I send first?
Start with the document type, issuing country, destination country and deadline. Do not send identity numbers or full original-document scans in an initial advertising enquiry.
Does VIP guarantee same-day completion?
No. VIP describes the firm’s coordination and follow-up. Ministry and consular schedules, prior approvals and document readiness determine the actual timing.
Is attestation the same as academic equivalency?
No. Attestation, translation, academic equivalency and acceptance by an institution are different tasks. State the intended use so the relevant requirements can be checked.
How are the charges calculated?
Request a breakdown of professional fees, authority charges, translation, delivery and any agreed additional steps before work begins.
