Issuing Authorities[edit]
All Egyptian passports are issued from the Ministry of Interior's Travel Documents, Immigration and Nationality Administration (TDINA) bureaus or from an Egyptian Consulate abroad. The new MRP is currently issued in Egypt only and Egyptian embassies and consulates overseas may only receive applications and return passports to applicants, but cannot print machine-readable documents, and can only issue handwritten emergency passports if required. An application for a passport made in London, for example, would be forwarded to the authorities in Cairo but the issuing authority would be the Egyptianembassy in London.
Rarely, is there an issue with outside passports, but commonly for those living abroad. When it happen it is a lengthy issue. If an Egyptian Embassy in America allows for a passport extension there, in order to allow the passport holder to travel back to Egypt and update it for the requested 7 years, they will require security measures from the Consulate in America detailing the short notice extinction. Process can take upwards of a month because of the use of faxes in the consulates in Egypt.
