Egypt pilots 24-hour self-service kiosks for investors' company documents
Investors will be able to print certified copies of key papers without queuing or waiting for office hours.
Cairo — Egypt has begun a pilot of self-service kiosks that let investors obtain company documents on their own, 24 hours a day.
Investment and Foreign Trade Minister Mohamed Farid announced the pilot at Cairo ICT 2026. The kiosks will issue and print certified copies of documents including articles of association, certificates of incorporation and papers for sole proprietorships.
How it works
Users will verify their identity electronically: Egyptians with their national ID card, foreign investors with their passport. The kiosks use biometric checks and facial recognition, with further checks run with the relevant authorities.
Mohamed Awad, head of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones, said the kiosks would be rolled out gradually across its 15 investor service centres and at other government offices.
More to come
Farid said the ministry is also building a platform for capital increases and an economic entities platform, and will soon announce changes to the rules under the Companies Law to cut duplicated procedures and paperwork.
