This is followed by Consular legalisation from the Egyptian Consulate in London

TIME AND FEES
The turnaround time is likely to be 1-2 working days for consular legalisation. The legalisation fee charge of the Egyptian Consulate is £40 per document for personal documents and £110 per document for company documents. However, for many financial documents the Egyptian Consulate can state they will charge a percentage of the value of the transaction as stated in the document and the legalisation fee can therefore potentially become very costly!

For documents in relation to private matters, the holder of the document is required to present photocopy of his valid ID (passport or UK driving License) along with the document requiring legalisation.

Documents certified by a notary public must have a notarial certificate and be properly bound with ribbon and seal to avoid rejection.
