The Egypt passport can not be
renewed so a person can apply for another passport only
after the original passport expired. Beginning with 2008,
the government of Egypt introduced the new type of
passports, electronic and fully computerized that correspond
with the global standards and with the requirements of ICAO.
The security of the new passports is
improved; they have a dark green color, and in the front
cover centre is the emblazon of the Egypt Coats of Arms.
Below this emblazon is the word ‘passport’ and above it is
written the ‘Arab Republic of Egypt’.

Egypt passports as well as the Egyptian consulate
from Egypt's outside.

to pass and give him help and protection whenever
necessary.’
