Where Lebanon files stall

The mistakes that get Lebanon documents rejected

The Embassy of Lebanon is precise about how documents are prepared. These are the issues we see most.

★ Commercial

No witnesses, or the notary block on another page

Commercial documents need two witnesses, and the notary's details have to be on the same page as all the signatures.

✕ Authority

No company letter for the signer

The embassy asks for a company letter confirming the signer is authorized to act for the company.

✕ Education

A diploma from an unaccredited school

School certificates are legalized only if the institution is accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

✕ Return

A UPS or DHL return label

The embassy returns documents only in USPS or FedEx envelopes.

This service is amazing! I wish I had known about it sooner. I had a document to be used abroad that needed to be notarized AND needed an apostille. It’s not so hard to find a notary but for anything more complicated, Aziz can get it done with a minimum of effort on the client’s part. He picked up the document, handled the legalizations process and returned the document to me. And in less than 24 hours! The consulate, which was my only other option had a ridiculous wait time to even get an appointment, not to mention they were going to charge me three times what Aziz did. His rates are reasonable and he is super-professional and efficient! He saved me so much time and navigated the whole process seamlessly for me. I highly recommend him and will no doubt be calling on him again in the future.

DC Mobile Notary was fantastic. Super easy to schedule and super flexible. Best prices I found as well. Danyar was quick, efficient, and super friendly. I’d absolutely use them again!
Traci Thiessen
I was impressed with this company from start to finish, and I will definitely go to them again when I need a notary.First, it was super easy to set up the three appointments that I needed; the receptionist was able to confirm the appointments while I was on the phone with her. Second, the notary showed up right on time for all appointments, even in one city location during rush hour and where finding street parking was challenging. Even when I needed to change the location of one appointment at the last minute (from a Starbucks that wasn't open yet to a nearby restaurant), it was easy to reach the notary himself and work out the change with him. Third, the two notaries I dealt with were both professional in appearance and manner. Finally, company can cover DC, MD, and VA where I do business, and their price is reasonable.I'm very grateful that the paperwork went smoothly and was done properly. I'm a new fan of DC Mobile Notary.

Aziz of DC MOBILE Notary was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable with regard to services we needed to authenticate educational documents for use abroad. I will no hesitate to utilize his services again. In today's world of everything automated and voice bots, Aziz was a breath of fresh air, answers calls and emails without delays and works on finding solutions for his clients. Thanks Aziz.

Answers

Lebanon legalization, answered

Does Lebanon accept a U.S. apostille?

No. Lebanon isn't a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents are legalized by the Embassy of Lebanon in Washington, DC.

How much does the Embassy of Lebanon charge?

$225 for a commercial document, $60 for a school or university certificate and $40 for a life certificate. Our service starts at $495 per document.

How do I legalize a power of attorney for Lebanon?

It's notarized in front of two witnesses, authenticated by the Secretary of State and submitted to the embassy with a company letter if it's signed for a business. We prepare all of it.

How do I legalize a U.S. diploma for Lebanon?

The registrar's signature is notarized, then the diploma is authenticated by the Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of State before the embassy legalizes it. The school must be accredited.

Do my documents need an Arabic translation?

The embassy's published requirements don't include one. If the office in Lebanon receiving your document asks for it, we can add a certified Arabic translation.
