Egypt Embassy Attestation Fees 2026 in India
Egypt embassy attestation fees and complete charges for educational, personal and commercial documents issued in India, with the full process, timelines and document checklist.
Quick answer: Egypt embassy attestation fees are charged per document. The Egypt Embassy's fee is ₹4,500 for an educational document such as a degree or diploma, about ₹6,000 for a personal document and ₹16,000 for a commercial document. Notary, state and MEA charges are added on top. Egypt is not a Hague Apostille member, so an MEA apostille alone is not accepted.
Why Egypt needs embassy attestation, not an apostille
Many people assume an MEA apostille works for every country. It does not work for Egypt. Egypt has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention, which you can confirm on the official HCCH status table. So Indian documents for Egypt follow the older legalization chain: state-level verification, MEA attestation, and finally the stamp of the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in New Delhi.
Choosing the wrong route is the most common and most expensive mistake. An apostille sticker on a degree meant for Egypt adds cost but does not replace the embassy stamp.

How to keep your Egypt embassy attestation fees low
- Do not pay for an apostille. It is not accepted in Egypt, so it only adds cost.
- Compare total prices, not embassy fees. A low headline fee often leaves out state, MEA and courier charges.
- Send related documents together. A degree with its marksheets, or an invoice with its Certificate of Origin, moves as one batch.
- Check names and spellings. A mismatch between certificate and passport can lead to rejection and a fresh start.
- Ask your employer or buyer what they need. Attesting documents nobody asked for is wasted money.
- Start early. Urgent processing costs more, especially when HRD verification is involved.
