Registration & Account Setup
Create your SehaFile citizen account using your national ID and email address
Overview
SehaFile uses passwordless sign-in tied to your Egyptian National ID (14 digits). There is no password to create or remember. When you register, we send a 6-digit code to your email address, and entering that code proves the account is yours.
Your National ID is what identifies you on SehaFile. It links your records across every clinic that uses the platform, so each ID can hold exactly one account.

Steps to Register
- Open the Citizen Portal -- Go to
citizen.sehafile.com. On the login page, tap "Register now" to open the registration screen. - Enter Your National ID -- Type your 14-digit Egyptian National ID. It must start with 2 or 3. Your date of birth, gender and birth governorate are read automatically from the number, so you do not enter them separately.
- Enter Your Email Address -- This is where your login code is sent, and how you will sign in from now on. Use an address you can open on the device you are registering from.
- Enter Your Mobile Number -- Your Egyptian mobile number, for example 01012345678. This is kept on your profile and used for signing in once mobile login becomes available. Today the code always goes to your email.
- Enter Your Name in Arabic -- Your full name as it appears on your official documents.
- Tap "Register" -- We send a 6-digit code to the email address you entered.
- Enter the Code -- Open your email, then type the 6 digits into the verification screen. The code is valid for 5 minutes. If it has not arrived, tap "Resend".
- Account Created -- Once the code is accepted you are signed in and taken to your dashboard.
Tip: If the code does not appear within a minute, check your spam or junk folder and mark the message as "not spam" so future codes reach your inbox.
Warning: Each National ID can hold only one account. If you see "National ID already registered", use the login page instead, or contact support if you believe the account is not yours.
FAQ
Why do you ask for my mobile number if the code goes to my email?
Signing in by mobile number is coming soon. Storing your number now means that when it arrives you will sign in by phone and reach the same account, with all of your health records intact. You will never need a second account.
What if I entered the wrong email address?
The code will not reach you. Go back to the registration form, correct the address and submit again.
The code did not arrive. What should I do?
Check your spam or junk folder first. If it is not there, tap "Resend" on the verification screen. You can request up to 10 codes per hour.
What happens if my code expires?
Codes are valid for 5 minutes. After that, tap "Resend" on the verification screen for a new one. Entering the wrong code three times also cancels it, so request a fresh code rather than guessing.
Can I register with a foreign mobile number?
SehaFile supports Egyptian mobile numbers. Your email address does not need to be Egyptian.
Is my National ID safe?
Yes. Your National ID is stored encrypted and is used only to verify your identity and link your health records from clinics that use SehaFile. It is never shared with third parties.
