Start at your embassy
Almost every file begins with a certificate of no impediment from your embassy in Cairo. Requirements differ sharply between embassies, and this step usually sets the overall timeline.
Notarization in Cairo
The contract is notarized before the notary responsible for foreigners' marriage. Translations must be certified and every previous marriage must be documented.
Make it valid abroad
Attestation by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by embassy legalization is what makes the certificate usable in your own country.
