Yes. The registry's eligibility text states plainly that entities, companies and organisations without premises in the Arab Republic of Egypt may also register. The single condition is having an authorised representative or agent inside the country. That this is no edge case is clear from the registry's own price list, which publishes separate tariffs open to foreign companies and organisations. The current amount for a representative service is shown at order time.

The document depends on the ground the name rests on. The registry lists four: for a trademark, a registration certificate from the competent authority; for a product or service, material proving the product actually exists and belongs to the applicant; for the entity's name or activity, an establishment decision or commercial register record; and for a person's name, a match with the national ID or passport, which is only possible in the personal zones.

The registry's eligibility and duration page gives one range: a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years. Fees are paid in advance for the period requested. A registration can also be cancelled before the term ends at the holder's formal request, but the fees paid are not refunded. A longer term is not only a budget decision: it thins out renewal deadlines and reduces the risk of an outage caused by a missed renewal.

It does not disappear on the due date. The registry publishes a three-step sequence: names renew automatically unless notified otherwise and the renewal fee is due within one month of the expiry date; if it is not paid the name is suspended, but during suspension it is not available to anyone else; only three months after the due date does the name become available to the public, without further notice. Delay is not loss, but the window is measured in months.

The difference is who may apply and which document is required. Directly under .eg the registry's zone table says «all authorities». com.eg is reserved for the commercial sector and requires a company outside Egypt to hold a trademark matching the name being registered. If you have no trademark abroad, .eg directly is usually the more reachable route; the in-country representative requirement applies in both zones.

The short answer is that you cannot, in the classic sense. IANA's .eg record leaves the WHOIS server field empty and the registry publishes neither a WHOIS nor an RDAP service on its site; lookups are limited to the registry's own name search screen. In practice this means registrant data cannot be harvested automatically from outside. For other extensions you can use the whois search page.

No. Arabic-script names are registered not under .eg but in Egypt's separate Arabic top-level zone, and the registry reserves that zone for government bodies and official educational institutions only; it is closed to individuals and private companies. The .eg family also contains an experimental sub-zone for Arabic names, but that too is for the registry's own use. Your Latin-script name belongs under .eg.

The registry publishes no service-level commitment, because the process is not automated. An application goes either through a registered internet service company or by sending the form to the registry by email; the form asks for the domain, the primary and secondary name servers and their IP addresses, and every field is mandatory. Documents are reviewed and names that do not match the policies are rejected, so settle your paperwork and your naming ground before applying.
