Need for the Document

An emergency travel document lets you leave another country if you can’t get a new or replacement Egyptian passport in time to travel. You can apply for an emergency travel document (sometimes known as an emergency passport) if you’re a Egyptian national outside the Egypt and your passport has been lost, stolen, damaged or has expired. You should first try to renew or replace your passport if it has expired or is damaged. Only apply for an emergency travel document if you need to travel before you can get a replacement done.
