Education verification in Egypt: a checklist for employers

Checking an Egyptian degree is easier when an employer can identify the precise record and the institution that holds it. This checklist helps hiring and mobility teams make a focused request, especially when certificates have been translated or names are spelled in different ways.

Identify the issuing institution

Capture the full university or institute name, campus and faculty where known. Similar program names do not always point to the same institution. Record the qualification as it appears on the original document, along with any English translation.

Gather useful identifiers

Ask for the name recorded at the institution, expected graduation year, student number if available and a copy of the relevant certificate or transcript. Avoid collecting documents that are unrelated to the check. A name in Arabic can help when a Latin spelling differs across records.

Check the institution's process

Each institution may use its own application, office, fee or authorization process. Some can answer a direct inquiry; others require signed consent or an official request. Confirm the source and procedure before promising a completion date to your hiring team.

Ask the right question

Define which facts matter: attendance, award, field of study, graduation date or certificate validity. A source may confirm only some fields. Preserve that distinction when reporting back to decision makers.

Document limits and next steps

A delayed response during holidays or an incomplete archive may leave a question open. Report the limitation and any reasonable follow-up. If an answer differs from the supplied document, check whether translation or program naming explains the gap before treating it as a material discrepancy.
