In a step that reflects a radical transformation in the strategy of the National Post Authority, and as the executive arm for government services in Egypt, Egypt Post has launched a new qualitative service aimed at facilitating the lives of citizens wishing to extract official certificates for the prices of gold artifacts. This service comes as a result of close cooperation and a joint work protocol with the Assay and Weights Administration of the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, to form a model to be emulated in integration between state institutions to overcome obstacles for the public.

Collaboration with the Assay and Weights Administration: Integration of Experience and Outreach This service cannot be read in isolation from the importance of the "Assay and Weights Administration," as it is the entity responsible for monitoring the gold market and regulating weights, and its certificates are considered official documents relied upon in courts, banks, legal disputes, or even in cases of evaluating inheritances and estates. Previously, obtaining this certificate required a citizen living in the farthest parts of Upper Egypt or the Delta to travel specifically to the Administration’s headquarters in Cairo, which incurred the hardship of travel, additional costs, and a waste of time. Today, through this cooperation, Egypt Post is transformed from a mere carrier of messages into an "official agent" for the citizen before government agencies, as the Post utilizes its network of branches that exceeds 4,300 post offices spread across every village and hamlet.

Service Details: How does a citizen obtain a gold price certificate? The new service allows any citizen to submit an official request to extract a certificate showing the price of a gram of gold on a specific date (whether it is a contemporary date or an old date for legal or accounting purposes). The process is as follows:

1. Submitting the request: The citizen goes to the nearest post office next to his home.

2. Data registration: The competent employee registers the customer's data and the date requested to inquire about the price.

3. The logistical role of the Post: Egypt Post undertakes receiving the request, sending it to the Assay Administration, following up on its extraction, and then receiving it officially.

4. Flexible delivery: Here appears the major advantage, as the Post does not only allow pickup from the office, but also provides the option of delivering the certificate to the place of residence or work via the Express Mail service.

Strategic Features: Why is this step a "Masterstroke"?

1. Reducing congestion and centralization: The service contributes to breaking up the centralization that the Assay and Weights Administration suffered from, as the pressure is distributed over thousands of post offices, which reduces queues at the main headquarters.

2. Safety and reliability: Since gold is a sensitive commodity and its value is variable, obtaining a price certificate from an official body through a reliable intermediary such as Egypt Post cuts the way for any manipulation or unofficial interpretations in estimating the values of gold artifacts.

3. Supporting digital transformation and financial inclusion: This service is not just a paper to be extracted, but rather part of a digital system in which requests are archived, and electronic payment of service fees is facilitated through "Meeza" cards or the "Yalla App," which enhances the culture of financial inclusion for the simple citizen.

The economic impact on the gold market and citizens Gold is considered a "safe haven" for savings in Egyptian culture. Disputes often arise over the value of gold in cases of inheritance distribution, tax assessments, or legal disputes. The presence of a "gold price certificate" easily available to everyone through post offices contributes to:

• Dispute resolution: Providing an official legal document that ends the controversy over the value of gold at a specific time.

• Transparency: Making documented price information available to the public, companies, and legal accountants.

• Stimulating investment: When a small investor feels the ease of legal and documentation procedures, his confidence in dealing with official markets increases.

Egypt Post Philosophy: From Traditional to Innovation Egypt Post has succeeded in recent years in transforming into a "Service Supermarket." It is no longer limited to pensions and letters, but has become a provider of civil status services (birth and death certificates), traffic services, and now the services of the Assay Administration. This philosophy is based on the principle of "Citizen First," where the service goes to the citizen instead of forcing him to come to it. The customer's choice of the method of receipt (post office - home - work) reflects the Authority's commitment to providing flexible and innovative services that meet the requirements of various segments, from the busy employee to the elderly who prefer home delivery.

A step towards the future The launch of the service for issuing certificates of prices for gold artifacts through Egypt Post is an embodiment of the "Egypt 2030" vision in improving the quality of government services. It is a success story that highlights how ancient institutions can evolve to keep pace with the needs of the times through innovative solutions that integrate geographical spread and technological development. With this service, Egypt Post proves once again that it is not just a service body, but a primary partner in economic and social development, and a major driver for simplifying bureaucracy and transforming it into digital and smooth operations that serve the interest of the country and the citizen alike.
