Here are the detailed steps to obtain an Egyptian ID card:
Collect the necessary documents:
Make sure you have collected all the required documents.
Visit the Civil Registry Office:
Go to the nearest civil registry office (the body responsible for issuing ID cards) in your area.
Fill out the application form:
Fill out the ID card application form that you obtain from the Civil Registry Office.
Make sure to fill in all data accurately.
Submitting documents:
Submit the required documents with the form to the relevant employee.
Data and documents are reviewed to ensure accuracy.
Taking a photo and fingerprint:
A photo will be taken of you inside the civil registry office.
Your fingerprints will also be recorded electronically.
Payment of fees:
The card issuance fee is paid, which varies according to the type of service (regular, urgent).
Receiving the card:
Your application will be reviewed, and after a period of 10 to 15 days, you can return to receive the card.
Renewal and update of data:
Card renewal:
The ID card is renewed every 7 years.
The card can be renewed in the event of any data change, such as marriage, divorce, or moving to a new address.
Data update:
Data must be updated in the event of a significant change in personal information, such as a change of name or marital status.
Updating the data requires submitting documents proving this change.
Penalties for delay:
If a citizen is late in obtaining or renewing an ID card, a fine will be imposed on him, and dealing without a valid ID card exposes the citizen to legal problems.
The Egyptian ID card is not just an official document, but rather a key to accessing many rights and services. Obtaining it in a timely manner and ensuring that it is updated regularly ensures that the Egyptian citizen has easy access to all legal and official services
