Everything you need to know about fees and processing times for Egyptian passports

In 2026, the topic of Egyptian passport fees and processing times has gained significant attention as citizens seek to expedite their travel formalities. The General Administration of Passports, Immigration, and Nationality provides various processing options, including standard, expedited, and immediate services, with fees and delivery times depending on the chosen service level.

For an expedited passport in 2026, the fee is approximately LE 1,850, allowing for a relatively quick turnaround, while the "immediate" service enables same-day issuance, subject to applicable regulations. To obtain an expedited passport, citizens must visit their local passport office, fill out the "Passport Form 29," and submit the necessary documents for review and verification of compliance with procedures.

The payment of prescribed fees and passport collection follow the review and verification process, with the duration of collection varying based on the service type.

To acquire an Egyptian passport in 2026, individuals need to provide specific documents, such as a valid National ID card for those aged 16 or older, a birth certificate for those under 16 without a National ID, an educational qualification certificate, recent color passport-sized photographs, and additional documents based on specific circumstances, such as students, males, females, and children.

The processing time for Egyptian passports in 2026 hinges on the selected service: expedited service results in passport issuance within 48 hours, immediate service provides issuance on the same day, while standard service takes between seven to 15 days. Citizens can obtain their passports from the Ministry of Interior’s Passport, Immigration, and Nationality offices located at their residential area, or at the Passport and Immigration Authority headquarters in Abbasiya Square during official working hours.
