All Egyptians age 16 or older must acquire national identification card. This document, as well as other vital records such as birth certificates, lists among other things one's religion. Interior Ministry officials, based not on any Egyptian law but on what they consider to be requirements of Islamic law, or Shari'a, restrict the choice of religion to islam, Christianity, or judaism, and systematically refuse to allow Egyptian Baha'is to list their actual religious affiliation. Also on the basis of what they consider to be the Shari'a prohibition of apostasy, officials refuse to recognize the conversion to Christianity of any Muslim or person they consider to be Muslim. Sometimes officials attempt to intimidate persons into identifying themselves as Muslim against their express wishes.
