TL;DR
Based on a traveler's experience in July 2026, a power of attorney is done in person through the consulate in Hurghada: you prepare the text in advance and send it to the consulate, book an appointment, have the text checked down to the comma on site, pay, and the consul signs the document. It cannot be done electronically; participants recommend checking current requirements on the official foreign ministry resources.
You can ask questions via the consulate's official email address listed in its published information. In July 2026 a traveler did exactly that: he wrote in English using a translation tool, and the consulate answered his questions.
A power of attorney cannot be done electronically — only in person at the embassy or consulate. This is what participants said in July 2026, advising travelers to check official sources such as the foreign ministry website.
The procedure, based on a traveler's experience in July 2026: prepare the power-of-attorney text and send it to the consulate, book an appointment, check the text again on site down to every letter and comma, pay, after which the consul signs it (in Cairo, the ambassador), and you collect the finished document. The process is the same everywhere and is described on the consulate's website.
After signing, the power of attorney is entered into the registry of powers of attorney — either immediately or after some time; the traveler did not remember exactly. She sent the document itself to the recipient by courier, but it could already be referred to before it arrived.
