Legalisation & authentication guidance
Some destinations accept a sworn translation as is. Others require it to be authenticated by the Lebanese Ministry of Justice, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the destination country's embassy. Getting the order wrong wastes days.

How Sara handles it
- 01
The right sequence, first time
Authentication chains differ by document type and destination. You receive a written checklist with the exact order, locations and fees.
- 02
Authentication-ready formatting
Translations are prepared so that the certification statement, seal and signature are positioned for the authenticating officer.
- 03
Honest about what is needed
Many destinations do not need extra legalisation at all. Sara tells you when a sworn translation is enough, saving you time and fees.
Is an apostille available in Lebanon?
Lebanon is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so documents go through consular legalisation instead: Ministry of Justice (for translations and court documents), then Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the embassy of the destination country when required.
Can you handle the authentication for me?
