Located in Egypt and need a U.S.-related document notarized? iRemoteNotary helps eligible signers complete remote online notarizations through a secure video session.
Can I notarize a U.S. document online while in Egypt?
Yes, eligible U.S.-related documents may be notarized online while you are in Egypt through a secure remote online notarization session with a U.S.-commissioned online notary. Some documents may still require embassy, consulate, apostille, or recipient-specific handling, so always confirm acceptance before booking.
Current U.S. Department of State instructions require the DS-3053 notarization to be completed through a U.S. embassy or consulate when the consenting parent is physically in Egypt.
Use the current State Department child-passport instructions for Form DS-3053.
iRemoteNotary may still assist with other eligible U.S. documents from Egypt. This DS-3053 rule does not make every document from Egypt ineligible for remote online notarization.
People in Egypt may need U.S. notarization for real estate, powers of attorney, affidavits, financial forms, business documents, school forms, and family documents. Instead of traveling to a U.S. Embassy or trying to use a local foreign notary, eligible U.S.-related documents may be handled online.
Yes. If your document is eligible for remote online notarization, you may be able to notarize it while located in Egypt through a secure video session with a U.S.-commissioned online notary. Always confirm acceptance with the receiving party before booking.
