Registered and executed by the district bureau
A Lebanese death certificate is issued by the district office of the Vital Statistics Bureau (Civil Registry Office), under the Directorate General of Civil Status of the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities. As with births and marriages, the death must be registered with and executed by the district-level bureau. The certificate is an Arabic table of the deceased's details with Ministry of Interior stamps, signed by the local civil registry officer, and certified copies are available for a nominal fee. The State Department lists no alternative document, so get the certificate itself.
It is obtained from the office of the district where the deceased was registered, which for many families is their home town rather than the place of death. Deaths of foreigners in Lebanon are certified by the Ministry of Interior. Outside Lebanon, a Lebanese embassy can request the certificate, and a relative in Lebanon can often obtain it faster. See our Arabic page.
Why US offices ask for it
In a US file a Lebanese death certificate usually proves that an earlier marriage ended before a new one, supports a survivor's or widow's claim, or opens an estate. The deceased's register number and place of registration link the certificate to the family's other civil documents, so we copy them exactly. If an insurer or court needs the cause of death, check whether your certificate states it; a hospital or forensic medical report may be the document that does.
Family names can appear in different Latin spellings across documents. We keep each document's spelling as printed and can add a translator's note linking them. USCIS does not require an apostille; Lebanon is not party to the Apostille Convention in any case, so a court that wants authentication would ask for legalisation by the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. See the Lebanese marriage certificate and divorce certificate pages.
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.
Frequently asked questions
The certificate was issued in my father's home village, not Beirut where he died.
Normal in Lebanon: documents come from the district where a person is registered.
Does it state the cause of death?
Check your copy. We translate whatever is printed; a medical report may be needed for the cause.
Can I order it from the US?
Through a Lebanese embassy or consulate, or a relative in Lebanon, which is often faster.
