Every project is handled carefully, with close attention to terminology, names, dates, formatting, official seals, and the intended use of the translated document.

Certified Translation Services in Lebanon

A certified translation is generally required when a translated document will be presented for an official, legal, administrative, academic, or immigration-related purpose. Unlike an informal translation, a certified translation is prepared according to professional standards and includes the appropriate translator’s certification, signature, or stamp when required.

In Lebanon, sworn translators are recognized within the official framework governing experts and translators. Requirements may vary according to the authority receiving the document, the destination country, and the purpose of submission. Some embassies and foreign authorities may also request further authentication or legalization after translation.

At EB Translation, we assist clients in identifying the suitable translation service for their documents. Before beginning, we review the document type, target language, destination, and requested procedure. This reduces the risk of ordering the wrong service or discovering additional requirements after the translation has already been completed.

Our certified translation services may be suitable for:

• Embassies and consulates

• Visa and immigration applications

• Citizenship procedures

• University and school admissions

• Employment applications

• Court and legal submissions

• Banking and financial procedures

• Company registration

• Government transactions

• Marriage and family-related applications

• Property and inheritance procedures

• International business transactions

Sworn Translation in Lebanon

A sworn translation is prepared or certified by a translator authorized to translate official documents. The translator’s stamp and signature confirm professional responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the translation.

Sworn translation is commonly requested for personal, legal, academic, and commercial documents. The exact requirements depend on where the document will be presented. One authority may accept a sworn translation directly, while another may request notarization, Ministry of Justice authentication, Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization, or consular legalization.

For example, certain consular procedures may require a sworn translator’s signature to be legalized through a notary, followed by authentication from the relevant Lebanese ministries and then the concerned consular office. Because procedures differ, clients should always confirm the requirements of the receiving institution before final submission.

We help clients understand these steps and prepare their translations according to the information provided by the receiving authority.

Arabic-to-English Translation in Lebanon

Arabic-to-English translation is one of the most frequently requested services in Lebanon. Lebanese documents are often issued in Arabic but must be submitted in English for immigration, education, employment, legal, or business purposes abroad.

Professional Arabic-to-English translation requires more than replacing words. Arabic and English have different grammatical structures, legal expressions, naming conventions, and administrative terminology. A translator must understand the meaning of the original document and reproduce it accurately in clear, formal English.

We translate Arabic documents into English while carefully reviewing:

• Full names and family names

• Dates of birth

• Places of birth

• Registration numbers

• Civil registry information

• Identification details

• Government titles

• Legal terminology

• Academic qualifications

• Institutional names

• Stamps, seals, and handwritten notes

Consistency is especially important when several documents belong to the same application. A name written differently across a passport, birth certificate, family extract, and university diploma may lead to delays or requests for clarification. We therefore encourage clients to provide a clear passport copy or confirm the preferred spelling of names before translation.

English-to-Arabic Translation Services

We also provide English-to-Arabic translation in Lebanon for documents issued abroad or prepared by international companies and institutions.

English documents may need to be translated into Arabic for use before Lebanese authorities, courts, businesses, banks, universities, or administrative departments. These translations must preserve the exact meaning of the original while using appropriate Arabic terminology.

Our English-to-Arabic translation services cover:

• Contracts and agreements

• Powers of attorney

• Company documents

• Academic certificates

• Employment documents

• Financial records

• Medical documents

• Technical materials

• Personal certificates

• Immigration documents

• Official correspondence

• Website and marketing content

We use formal, professional Arabic suitable for the document’s purpose. Where terminology may have several interpretations, we select the wording that best reflects the legal, commercial, technical, or administrative context.

Documents We Translate

At EB Translation, we handle a broad range of personal and professional documents.

Civil Status and Personal Documents

We translate personal documents commonly required for immigration, marriage, citizenship, family reunification, inheritance, and legal procedures, including:

• Birth certificates

• Marriage certificates

• Death certificates

• Individual civil status extracts

• Family civil status extracts

• Identity cards

We translate:

• University diplomas

• School certificates

• Transcripts of grades

• Course descriptions

• Enrollment certificates

• Graduation statements

• Recommendation letters

• Training certificates

• Internship certificates

• Academic records

• Professional qualifications

Academic terminology must be translated accurately because differences in degree names, grades, course titles, or educational structures may affect how a qualification is evaluated.

Legal Translation Services in Lebanon

Legal translation requires linguistic accuracy and a clear understanding of legal terminology. A small mistake can change the interpretation of an obligation, right, restriction, or deadline.

Our legal translation services cover:

• Commercial contracts

• Employment agreements

• Lease agreements

• Court judgments

• Legal notices

• Powers of attorney

• Affidavits

• Settlement agreements

• Inheritance documents

• Litigation records

We preserve the structure, clause numbering, definitions, references, and legal meaning of the original document as closely as possible.

Business and Corporate Translation

Lebanese businesses increasingly communicate with international suppliers, customers, investors, distributors, banks, and service providers. Clear translation helps companies avoid misunderstandings and present themselves professionally.

We translate:

• Commercial correspondence

• Company profiles

• Business plans

• Proposals and presentations

• Invoices and quotations

• Purchase orders

• Product descriptions

• Import and export documents

• Certificates of origin

• Corporate registrations

• Board resolutions

• Financial statements

• Marketing materials

• Internal policies

• Website content

Our business translation service focuses on accuracy, consistency, and appropriate professional language.

Medical Translation

Medical documents contain specialized terminology and highly sensitive information. They require careful handling and clear wording.

We translate:

• Medical reports

• Laboratory test results

• Hospital records

• Prescriptions

• Vaccination certificates

• Discharge summaries

• Diagnostic reports

• Insurance documents

• Medical letters

• Treatment plans

• Consent forms

Clients should always submit a clear, complete copy of the medical document. Handwritten notes, abbreviations, and unclear scans may require clarification before translation.

Technical Translation

Technical translation requires subject-specific terminology and consistency. We work on documents related to products, equipment, construction, manufacturing, technology, and professional services.

Technical documents may include:

• User manuals

• Safety instructions

• Product specifications

• Technical data sheets

• Installation guides

• Construction documents

• Engineering reports

• Tender documents

• Equipment descriptions

• Training manuals

• Quality-control documents

The terminology used throughout a technical translation must remain consistent so that users, technicians, contractors, and decision-makers can understand the information correctly.

Online Translation Services in Lebanon

Clients no longer need to visit a translation office simply to request a quotation. Our online translation service in Lebanon allows documents to be submitted electronically for review.

The process is simple:

1. Upload or Send the Document

Clients submit a clear scan or photograph of the document. All corners should be visible, and the text, stamps, signatures, and handwritten notes should be readable.

2. Receive a Translation Quotation

We review the document, language pair, page count, content type, certification requirements, and requested delivery time.

3. Confirm the Service

Once the quotation and requirements are approved, we begin the translation.

4. Translation and Quality Review

The document is translated and checked for accuracy, spelling, terminology, formatting, names, dates, and numbers.

5. Receive the Completed Translation

Depending on the service requested, the translation may be provided digitally, prepared as a certified hard copy, or arranged for delivery.

This process is particularly useful for clients living outside Beirut, Lebanese citizens residing abroad, companies with urgent documents, and individuals who cannot visit an office during working hours.

Translation for Embassies and Visa Applications

Embassy and immigration files often involve strict document requirements. Applicants may need translations of civil records, financial documents, employment letters, academic qualifications, police certificates, or family documents.

We provide translation support for applications related to:

• Tourist visas

• Student visas

• Work visas

• Family reunification

• Permanent residence

• Citizenship

• Sponsorship

• Immigration

• Marriage abroad

• Foreign university admission

The receiving embassy or immigration authority determines the final requirements. Some authorities require translations by a sworn translator, while others may request additional authentication or a particular certification statement.

We recommend checking the official instructions of the receiving authority before placing an order. When clients send us those instructions, we use them to prepare the translation in the appropriate format.

Document Legalization and Authentication Assistance

Translation and legalization are related but separate services.

Translation converts the content of a document from one language into another. Legalization or authentication confirms the validity of a signature, stamp, or issuing authority so the document may be accepted in another jurisdiction.

Depending on the document and destination, the procedure may involve:

• A notary public

• The Lebanese Ministry of Justice

• The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants

• An embassy or consulate

• The authority that originally issued the document

• A professional syndicate

• Another government department

Lebanon is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so documents intended for certain countries may need the traditional legalization process rather than a Lebanese apostille.

Requirements vary significantly. We therefore examine each request individually and help clients understand which steps may be necessary based on the destination and receiving institution.

How to Prepare Documents for Translation

To avoid delays, clients should submit high-quality files. Before sending a document, confirm that:

• The entire page is visible

• The text is readable

• No corner is missing

• Stamps and signatures are visible

• Handwritten notes can be identified

• The document is not blurred

• All pages are included

• The correct target language is specified

• The destination country is mentioned

• The receiving authority’s instructions are provided

Clients should also confirm the spelling of names. When translating into English or another Latin-alphabet language, we recommend using the same spelling found in the passport or official identity document.

How Much Does Translation Cost in Lebanon?

The price of professional translation depends on several factors:

• Source and target languages

• Number of pages or words

• Document complexity

• Legal or technical terminology

• Certification requirements

• Formatting requirements

• Urgency

• Number of certified copies

• Legalization or delivery services

Simple personal documents may be priced per page, while contracts, websites, manuals, or large business projects may be calculated according to word count and complexity.

At EB Translation, we review each document before confirming the price. This allows us to provide a quotation based on the actual content and service required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Translation in Lebanon

What is the difference between certified and ordinary translation?

An ordinary translation communicates the meaning of content for general use. A certified or sworn translation is prepared for an official purpose and carries the translator’s certification, stamp, or signature when required.

Can I submit my documents online?

Yes. Clients can submit clear scans or photographs online for review and quotation. The available delivery method depends on whether a digital translation or certified hard copy is required.

Do I need to send the original document?

A clear copy may be sufficient for the initial translation and quotation. However, some certification or legalization procedures may require the original document. This depends on the receiving authority.

How quickly can a translation be completed?

The completion time depends on the document’s length, language, complexity, certification requirements, and current workload. Short personal documents may be completed faster than contracts, technical manuals, or large academic files.

Can you translate a Lebanese birth certificate into English?

Yes. We translate Lebanese birth certificates and other civil status documents from Arabic into English and additional languages based on the requested service.

Can you translate documents for immigration?

Yes. We translate civil, academic, employment, financial, and legal documents commonly included in immigration and visa applications.

Can a translated document be used abroad?

It may be used abroad when it meets the requirements of the receiving authority. Depending on the destination, additional authentication or consular legalization may be required.

Do you translate documents from English into Arabic?

Yes. We provide professional English-to-Arabic translation for personal, legal, academic, medical, corporate, and technical documents.

Are online translation tools acceptable for official documents?

Automatic translation tools are not normally suitable for certified official documents. They do not provide professional certification, responsibility for accuracy, official formatting, or a sworn translator’s stamp and signature.

How do I request a quotation?

Submit a clear copy of the document through ebtranslation.com and specify the target language, destination country, receiving authority, required deadline, and whether you need certification or legalization assistance.
