Foreign Divorce Procedures in Egypt

How divorce generally works when one or both spouses are foreign nationals, and what to prepare before your first meeting.

Two people in a private consultation

When a marriage involving a foreign national was documented in Egypt, divorce can often also be handled in Egypt. The exact route depends on the circumstances and on whether the divorce is by mutual agreement or contested.

Before your first meeting

  • Gather your marriage contract and any certified copies
  • Bring passports or ID documents
  • Collect children's birth certificates, if any
  • Note any agreements already reached

Using the divorce abroad

If you need the divorce recognised in another country, plan for certification steps from the outset — requirements depend on the destination country.
