The Consulate General of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Sydney presents its compliments to Egyptian citizens within its jurisdiction, which covers New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory, and is pleased to advise that, as part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ efforts to develop and digitise the consular services provided to Egyptians abroad and make them easier to access, the interactive consular services platform, the “Egyptian Abroad” app (مصري بالخارج), was launched on a trial basis on 6 October 2026.
During the first trial phase, the service is limited to applying through the app for the approval required to issue a replacement for a lost or completely damaged passport. Further consular services will be added progressively, and the Consulate General will announce them in due course.
Accordingly, requests for the approval required to issue a replacement for a lost or completely damaged passport are no longer accepted in person at the Consulate General. Citizens must upload the required documents and complete the approval request through the “Egyptian Abroad” app.
Once approval is issued, the citizen will receive a notification in the app confirming it, and may then attend the Consulate General in person to complete the passport issuance procedures.
Citizens are kindly requested to download the “Egyptian Abroad” app by scanning the QR code for their phone type, as shown below, then create an account and complete the registration details required to log in and use the available services.

The Consulate General also advises that its official website, shown below, remains in operation and is the main source for citizens within its jurisdiction for all information on the procedures and documents required for the various consular services it provides, as well as for booking appointments, until development of the consular services platform is complete.
