Egypt Launches Online Power of Attorney Service with Postal Delivery

The Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Communications and Information Technology have launched a new service allowing citizens to obtain general powers of attorney for litigation entirely online through the Digital Egypt platform, with completed documents delivered to their homes by Egypt Post.

The service eliminates the need to visit notarisation offices in person, which currently process an average of approximately 18,000 general powers of attorney for litigation every day.

To use the service, citizens must visit Digital Egypt, select the remote general power of attorney for litigation option, enter the required information and pay the applicable fees electronically.

Applicants then complete identity verification through the Egypt Pass digital identity application, which checks their identity, legal capacity and consent. The process uses accredited electronic signatures to authenticate transactions and includes security measures designed to protect personal information.

The launch builds on Egypt's ongoing expansion of digital government services, including mobile notarisation units and online access to certain judicial documents. In September 2026, the Public Prosecution introduced electronic access to family lawsuit rulings, while Egyptians living abroad gained access to online criminal record certificate requests in June, provided they had previously obtained a certificate.

The Digital Egypt platform was inaugurated in July 2022 with more than 130 government services and has since expanded to include additional administrative and legal transactions.
