Egypt’s Ministry of Interior has implemented various expedited service tiers for the issuance and renewal of national ID cards to reduce waiting times at civil registry offices.

Citizens can access these services through the Civil Status Department’s headquarters in Abbassia, mobile units, or VIP centers located in major shopping malls. The service options are categorized by speed and cost: an ‘instant’ service via mobile units for 800 EGP, a ‘VIP Express’ option for 515 EGP with collection within one to two hours, a ‘Special’ category for 175 EGP with 24-hour delivery, an ‘Urgent’ category for 125 EGP with 3-day delivery, and a ‘Standard’ category for 50 EGP with 15-day delivery.

Additionally, the Ministry provides electronic renewal options through its official website to facilitate the process online.
