The foreigner spouse should provide his/her Identification card, foreign passport, proof of citizenship, certificate of No Impediment, or certificate of single status.
All these certificates should be translated into Arabic and certified by the respective embassy in Egypt in order to be accepted by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Some foreign embassies refuse to issue Certificate of Single Status or No Impediment Certificate. In this case, the foreigner spouse should provide an Affidavit stating
that he/she is single and free to marry. This Affidavit should also be notarized by a local notary public and bear the required signatures in order to be accepted by Egyptian authorities.
Foreigners considering marrying an Egyptian should fully understand the Egyptian Family law and Sharia. Especially if you are getting married to an Egyptian Woman, as they have many rights as a spouse or as a parent that would be very different from the women’s rights in your county. That is why ASAS law firm urges its customers to consult with an attorney to know all rights and duties resulting in marrying an Egyptian Citizen.
