Before you send it
- Include every page and any continuation sheet. A cropped row can leave a family member or an important note outside the translation.
- Provide passport spellings for the people concerned by the application. Tell Odette if siblings or parents use different Latin spellings of the same family name.
- Identify the purpose, such as a family, immigration or administrative application. Confirm whether the recipient also needs individual extracts or separate marriage and birth certificates.
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 one family spelling be used for everyone?
The translation should respect the source and the identity documents supplied. Different official spellings need to be flagged and handled consistently, not silently standardized.
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.
