Buy Egyptian ID Card: Your Questions Answered Here

Hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about gettin’ yourself an Egyptian ID card. Now, I ain’t no fancy lawyer or nothin’, but I done heard some things and I’ll tell ya what I know, the best way I can.

First off, this here ID card, they call it a “National Identity Card” or somethin’ like that. Sounds all official, don’t it? Well, it’s just a card with your picture and stuff on it, so folks know who you are. Like, if you wanna get a job or somethin’, they gonna wanna see that card.

Now, from what I gather, pretty much any Egyptian can get one of these cards. You gotta be 16 or older, though. Makes sense, I guess. Little kids don’t need no fancy ID, they just need their mamas!

So, how d’ya get this card? Well, it ain’t always easy, I’ll tell ya that. If you’re over in Egypt, it’s a bit simpler. You just go down to the Civil Registry place, that’s what they call it, and you ask for a card. They’ll take your picture and ask you some questions, and then, after a while, you get your card. They say now you can even use them fancy machines inside the building to get the forms, so you don’t gotta wait for no slowpoke employee.

But what if you ain’t in Egypt? That’s where it gets tricky. If you already had a card and it’s just expired, well, you might be able to get it renewed at the consulate. But if it’s your first time gettin’ a card, oh boy, that’s a whole ‘nother story. Seems like you gotta wait for some big shots from Cairo to come visit, or you gotta go all the way back to Egypt yourself.

• Who can get a card? Any Egyptian over 16.
• Where do you get it? Civil Registry in Egypt. Renewals might be possible at the consulate if you’re outside Egypt.
• What do you need? They’ll tell you what papers to bring, like your birth certificate and stuff. And if your parents are Egyptian, they’ll need their cards too. If one of them is foreign, well they’ll be needing their own passport!
• How much does it cost? I heard it’s about 85 EGP. Don’t seem like too much, but money’s money, ain’t it?
• How long is it good for? Seven years. Then you gotta do it all over again! Land sakes, why can’t they make these things last longer?

Now, this here card, it’s got all sorts of important stuff on it. Your name, your birthday, when you were born, you know, the usual. And they got this big long number on it too, 14 digits they say. It’s your national number or somethin’. They use that number for all sorts of things, so keep it safe! Don’t go showin’ it to just anybody.

They started makin’ these cards way back in 1996, or so I heard. But they weren’t as fancy as the ones they got now. The ones they got now, they started makin’ them in 2000. Technology, always changin’, ain’t it?

This here card, it ain’t just a piece of plastic, y’know. It proves you’re an Egyptian, it shows you belong. It’s like havin’ your own little piece of Egypt right there in your pocket. And let me tell you what the card has, they put your name on it, when you were born , if you a man or a woman. Now that’s what they call “card data”, fancy ain’t it?

So, if you need to get yourself an Egyptian ID card, don’t be scared. Just go down to the right place, ask the right questions, and they’ll help you out. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be just fine. And remember, if you don’t have a card you ain’t anybody!

One last thing: Be careful who you talk to about gettin’ this card. There’s some folks out there who might try to trick you or take your money. So stick to the official channels, and don’t trust nobody who seems shady. You hear?

Alright, that’s all I got to say about that. Now go on and get yourself that card, and be a proud Egyptian! And don’t go forgettin’ what I told ya now!
