What is Service of Process in Egypt
Service of process in Egypt refers to the formal delivery of legal documents—such as summons, complaints, and court orders—to a defendant or respondent.
​
In Egypt, service is typically carried out through court bailiffs (moharrereen / judicial officers) under the supervision of the court system, ensuring proper legal notice under Egyptian civil procedure law.

Egypt is a signatory to the Hague Service Convention, which governs international service of process.
