Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what residents ask most.

  • What are the markaz office hours?

    Sunday to Thursday during official working hours, except public holidays. The markaz has no officially published hours, so call 03 4650011 or 03 4651920 to confirm before you visit, or book an appointment on this site.

  • Which documents does my service need?

    The Services & Permits page lists, for each service, the documents and fees the official local government services guide gives. Requirements can change, so confirm them at the technology centre when you apply.

  • How can I meet the head of the markaz?

    Submit your request or complaint at the technology centre in the markaz headquarters. The markaz also holds a weekly public meeting, chaired by its head, to hear residents’ requests and complaints, and the Governor of Alexandria holds his public meetings for the western sector at the markaz headquarters on Wednesdays; their dates are announced in the news.

  • How do I track a request I made at the technology centre?

    Look it up by its number on the Local Government Services portal (lgs.gov.eg), or ask at the centre. The “Track your request” page on this site shows only appointments and messages sent through the site.

  • Where do I report a pothole or a broken streetlight?

    On the Contact page, choose the “Report an issue” subject, or call the national government complaints line, 16528. Keep the reference number shown after sending to follow it up.

  • Is the markaz responsible for water and electricity?

    Water, drainage and electricity networks are run by separate utility companies. The markaz receives reports and refers them on; for electricity emergencies call 121 and for gas 129.
