How to Check Traffic Violations in Egypt Using Your National ID and Appeal Them Online
Egyptian motorists can check and pay traffic violations online using their national ID through the Public Prosecution's digital services, with the option to submit an appeal electronically in just a few minutes.
Egypt's Public Prosecution offers a range of digital services that allow motorists to check traffic violations using their national ID, pay fines electronically, and submit appeals without visiting a traffic department, as part of the government's ongoing digital transformation strategy.
To use the service, vehicle owners must enter their driving license details accurately, along with their national ID number registered with the vehicle.
Steps to Check Traffic Violations
Visit the official Egyptian Public Prosecution website.
Select Traffic Violations Inquiry.
Choose Vehicle Violations.
Enter the vehicle's license plate information accurately.
Enter the owner's national ID number.
A verification code will be sent to the mobile number registered with the driving license.
Enter the code and submit the inquiry.

How to Appeal a Traffic Violation
Motorists can also submit an online appeal through the Public Prosecution website or the Digital Egypt platform if they believe a violation was issued incorrectly.
Online Appeal Process
Log in to the Public Prosecution or Digital Egypt portal.
Select Vehicle License Appeals.
