Certified translation in Egypt
There is currently no recognized or official entity in Egypt that represents or regulates certified translators or the practice of certified translation. Egypt is on the more relaxed side of the spectrum. The certified translation only requires a statement by the translator or translation agency that states the accuracy and truthfulness in the translation, and its conformity to the original document. The translator must also stamp and sign the translated document with the date of the translation.
