Egyptian Passport
Egyptian passports are issued to nationals of Egypt for the purpose of international travel. Besides serving as a proof of Egyptian citizenship, they facilitate the process of securing assistance from Egyptian consular officials abroad if needed. Egyptian passports are valid for seven years for adults, and is issued for lesser periods for school or college students, or those who have not finalized their status of the military conscription. The Egyptian Passport is not renewable; one must apply for a new passport after their original has expired. Starting in 2008, The Egyptian government introduced newer machine readable passports (MRP), in order to comply with international passport standards and ICAO requirements. The newer passports offer better security and state-of-the-art anti forging parameters. However, it seems that the new passports are printed on soft material that makes them prone to wear and damage much faster than the older ones especially because the new passports have soft covers.
