Before you send it

  1. Send the full certificate with seals, margins and any later annotations. Include a legalization page if it forms part of the submitted document.
  2. Provide the passport spelling for the person concerned and, where relevant, the parents. Explain any name change and include the supporting document.
  3. Check whether the recipient asks for a birth certificate, a civil extract or a particular version of the certificate. Identify the destination language before requesting a quote.

From your record to a carefully checked translation.

01 / Share the essentials

Start with the document type, source and target languages, receiving authority and deadline. Odette confirms the scope, fee and timing before you commit. Send only the information needed for your request.

02 / Translate & check

Names, dates, numbers, terminology and notes are checked against the source. Bring any required spellings or format instructions into the conversation before the translation is finalized.

03 / Prepare for submission

Agree the delivery format and whether you need a sworn translation. Odette has been a sworn translator in Lebanon since 2017: for a sworn translation, she certifies its accuracy with her signature and stamp. The recipient decides whether additional certification or legalization is required.

Questions about this document

Can Odette translate a certificate issued outside Lebanon?

Send the document and its language for assessment. The issuing country, language pair and recipient’s certification requirements need to be checked before the work is accepted.

How much will this translation cost, and how long will it take?

The fee and timing depend on the language pair, number of pages, legibility, format and deadline. Email Odette with those details for a quote; no fixed price or turnaround is assumed for every document.

Will a sworn translation be accepted everywhere?

Requirements vary by country, authority and procedure. Share the recipient’s instructions before ordering. Lebanese sworn status does not automatically replace a locally required certification, notarization or legalization.
