Egyptian identification card controversy



The Egyptian identification card controversy refers to a ruling of the Supreme Administrative Council of Egypt on December 16, 2006 against the Bahá'ís stating that the government may not recognize the Bahá'í Faith in official identification cards. The ruling leaves Bahá'ís unable to obtain the necessary government documents to have rights in their country (see Persecution of Bahá'ís); they cannot obtain ID cards, birth certificates, death certificates, marriage or divorce certificates, passports; they also cannot be employed, educated, treated in hospitals or vote among other things.
