Step-by-Step Guide

١

Review & Update National ID First

Verify your National ID is valid and updated with current job, address, and marital status before renewing. The Passport Dept won't register new data on the passport unless it is already printed on your ID, or you hold an official verified document.

٢

File a Police Report in Case of Loss

If your old passport is lost, visit the nearest police station immediately and file an official lost report. You will receive the certified report to submit to the passport office, ensuring security clearance and paying the lost passport fine.

Madam Afaf Warning: Renewing an expired passport requires the exact same documents as a new one plus the old passport. If lost or damaged, you need a police report and extra fees, so protect it!
٣

Fill out Form 29 Passports at the Office

Visit the office, purchase Form 29, and fill in your details exactly matching your ID card. Write your English name spelling identical to the old passport to prevent inconsistencies with valid visas or flight tickets.

٤

Document Inspection & Payment of Fees

Submit the file, ID, and old passport to the reviewing officer to inspect photos and updates. Once approved, pay the officially published mechanized passport fee of EGP 1110, or EGP 1155 for lost or damaged replacement requests. If you choose the premium passport service at mall centers or mobile units, an extra EGP 500 is added when available, then keep the receipt showing your collection date.

٥

Collect the New Passport & Retrieve the Cancelled Old One

On the designated collection date, present your receipt to receive your new premium passport along with your old one, which will be punched (cancelled) to allow presenting any active previous visas at airport customs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Egyptian passport renewal fees in 2026?
The Ministry of Interior passport page confirms that the mechanized passport fee is EGP 1110, and that the lost or damaged replacement request fee is EGP 1155. The premium passport service at mall centers or mobile units is an optional extra EGP 500 when available. We do not display the next-business-day urgent fee here until it is confirmed from a clearly published official figure.
Can I travel using the cancelled old passport if it has a valid visa?
Yes, international and local laws allow traveling carrying both passports together: the cancelled old passport containing the valid active visa (like US or Schengen visas), and your new valid passport. Present both to the border control officer at airport customs.
Is there a way to renew the Egyptian passport entirely online?
Currently, the Ministry of Interior portal does not offer online passport renewal for domestic residents; physical appearance is mandatory for biometrics, security clearance, and signature. For Egyptians abroad, online services are offered by Egyptian embassies and consulates based on each consulate's regulations.
