What if an employee has no social security number or form 6 in Egypt?

If an employee is starting their first job in Egypt and does not have a Social Security number or Form 6, the necessary steps can be taken to ensure proper enrollment.

For Egyptian nationals, enrollment in the national social insurance system is mandatory and they are eligible for a Social Security number. Horizons can assist with this process.

To proceed, the following documents are required:

  • A copy of the employee’s valid Egyptian personal ID

  • A copy of the employee’s birth certificate


Once these documents are received, Horizons will submit them to the relevant authorities to obtain the employee’s Social Security number and Form 6.
