Certified Lebanese Bank Statement Translation

eVerbary translates your Lebanese bank statement into English for $24.95 per page with no word cap, by a professional human translator, with a signed certification. Most orders are delivered within a few hours. Accepted by USCIS and by US universities, colleges and schools, or your money back.

Two currencies and two kinds of dollars

Lebanese bank statements may show accounts in Lebanese pounds and in US dollars. Since the 2019 crisis, banks also treat dollars differently according to when they arrived: under Banque du Liban Basic Circular 150 of 9 April 2020, foreign-currency funds transferred from abroad or deposited in cash after that date (often called fresh dollars) are handled separately from older deposits. If your statement labels accounts in this way, we translate the labels as printed and do not interpret them.

Amounts are copied exactly in their currency and never converted. If the statement shows an exchange rate, we translate it as printed. A US consulate or USCIS uses statements to show funds or a financial history, and the officer needs to see which balance is in which currency and of which kind. Dates, balances and running totals are kept in the order of the original. See our general bank statement translation page.

Account details and languages

Account numbers, IBANs and references are copied character by character. Transaction descriptions may be in English or French already, with Arabic for names and branch details, so a statement may need only partial translation; we translate everything that is not in English and leave English text as it is. Bank stamps and the branch name are translated, and the translation states which parts were already in English, so nothing looks omitted.

If the bank gives you a signed letter confirming the balance, translate that as well: many offices prefer a stamped bank letter over a printout. Ask the office how recent the statement must be; we translate the period it covers exactly. See the Lebanese power of attorney page if someone in Lebanon is collecting documents for you, our Arabic page and our French page.

What USCIS requires

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.

State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
