Egypt launches investor self-service kiosks
New kiosks allow investors to obtain company documents 24 hours a day without staff interaction.
Egypt has launched pilot self-service kiosks for investors to independently obtain company documents 24 hours a day. Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid announced the initiative at the Cairo International Technology Exhibition and Conference (Cairo ICT 2026). This move aims to digitalise government services and simplify business operations.
The kiosks allow investors to issue and print certified true copies of documents like articles of association and certificates of incorporation. Transactions will use electronic identity verification, including national ID cards and passports with biometric and facial recognition technology. This initiative is part of the ministry's plan to improve investment services through electronic delivery and simplified procedures.
The pilot is a practical step towards expanding electronic service delivery and integrating government authorities. The ministry is also developing platforms for capital increases and economic entities, and preparing amendments to the Companies Law. These changes aim to reduce duplicated procedures and improve the business environment.
