How to Get a Social Insurance Print Out in Egypt

If you're applying for a job, a loan, or renewing a residence permit, someone has probably asked you for a social insurance print out. Here's what it actually is, where to get it, and what it costs.

Quick answer

A social insurance print out in Egypt is an official statement from the National Organization for Social Insurance (NOSI, الهيئة القومية للتأمين الاجتماعي) showing your contribution history, insured periods, and employers. You can request it in person at any NOSI branch office, or online through the e-services portal at www.nosi.gov.eg if you have a registered account and your insurance number (الرقم التأميني). Processing is usually same-day at the branch. Bring your national ID. Fees are nominal — a few EGP for the stamp.

What the print out actually shows

The standard social insurance statement — people call it استمارة التأمينات or كشف مدد الاشتراك — lists every period you've been registered under Law 148 of 2019 (the Social Insurance and Pensions Law, which replaced the old Law 79 of 1975).^[1]

Expect to see your insurance number, name, date of birth, each employer, start and end dates of each insured period, the wage brackets contributions were paid on, and total insured months and years. If you're a pensioner, it'll also show pension entitlement details.

This is the document banks want for loan applications, embassies want for visa files, and HR departments want to verify prior service. Honestly, most people don't realise their old employers may have stopped contributions early — the print out is how you catch that.

Where and how to request it

Option 1 — In person at a NOSI branch. Go to the branch (مكتب التأمينات) covering the governorate where your last employer was registered. Take your original national ID and a copy. If you know your insurance number, bring it. Ask for كشف مدد الاشتراك or بيان حالة تأمينية. Same-day issuance is standard.

Option 2 — Online via the NOSI portal. Register at www.nosi.gov.eg using your national ID and mobile number. Once your account is active, you can request and download a digital statement. The portal has been rolling out expanded self-service since 2022, so coverage varies by case — if your record is old or incomplete, you'll still need the branch.^[2]

Option 3 — Through your current employer. HR can pull a statement on your behalf for employees actively insured through their payroll.

Costs: The statement itself is free. You'll pay a small stamp duty (طوابع) of around 5–10 EGP depending on the branch and the number of pages. Bring cash in small notes.

Which route makes sense depends on how urgently you need it. For a loan file due next week, walk into the branch.

Documents to bring

Keep it simple:

• Original national ID (بطاقة الرقم القومي), valid.
• A photocopy of the ID.
• Your insurance number if you have it — not mandatory, but it speeds things up.
• Power of attorney (توكيل) if someone else is collecting it for you. A general توكيل عام or a specific توكيل خاص for social insurance matters both work.
• For foreigners insured in Egypt: passport, residence permit, and work permit copies.

If your name on the NOSI records doesn't exactly match your ID — common for people whose names were transliterated differently years ago — bring any older ID or birth certificate to help the officer reconcile the record.

Common problems and fixes

Missing periods. You worked somewhere for two years but it's not showing. This happens. The employer may have under-reported or skipped registration entirely. File a تسوية (settlement) request at the branch with any proof you have: old contracts, payslips, bank transfers showing salary deposits. NOSI can summon the employer to reconcile.^[1]

Wrong wage bracket. Contributions calculated on an understated salary cut your future pension. You can dispute within the limitation periods set out in Law 148/2019 — don't sit on it.

No insurance number on file. If you've never been formally insured, there's nothing to print. You'd need to register first, usually through an employer.

Portal rejects your login. Mobile number mismatch is the usual culprit. Update your contact details at the branch and try again after 24 hours.

Watch out: a print out from the NOSI portal and a stamped print out from the branch are not always treated the same way. Banks and embassies often insist on the stamped (مختوم) version with the officer's signature. Ask the requesting party which they'll accept before you queue up.

When you'll actually need it

• Bank loan or mortgage applications — proof of insured employment history.
• Pension claims and survivor benefits under Law 148/2019.
• End-of-service settlement calculations.
• Residence or work-permit renewals for foreigners.
• Disputes with a former employer about unpaid contributions.
• Court cases involving labour entitlements under the Egyptian Labour Law (Law 12 of 2003).^[3]
