Before you send it
- Send a clear, complete scan of the extract, including the reverse if it contains writing, a stamp or an annotation. Keep the page edges visible.
- Supply the spelling of your name from your passport and any earlier translations. Flag differences in a parent’s name, birthplace or transliteration before work begins.
- Tell Odette which authority will receive it, the country, the required language and your deadline. Ask that authority whether it requires a recently issued extract or an original.
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
Is an ekhraj qaid the same as a birth certificate?
They are different records. Some procedures may accept a civil extract, while others request a birth certificate specifically. Use the receiving authority’s document checklist rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
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.
