Certified Lebanese Disability Card Translation

eVerbary translates your Lebanese disability card 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.

The Personal Disability Card

Lebanon's disability law is Law 220 of 2000 on the rights of persons with disabilities. Its main instrument is the Personal Disability Card, issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs to Lebanese citizens after an assessment through the ministry's social development centres. The card serves as identification of the holder's disability status and gives access to services and benefits under the law. Lebanese authorities refer to it in other procedures too: the traffic authority, for instance, has a dedicated procedure for registering cars belonging to people with special needs.

We translate the card in full, both sides, with every field it carries, worded as printed, and its number copied exactly. Where the wording is medical or administrative, we keep the Lebanese term and can explain it in a note, because US programmes use their own definitions. A scan of both sides is enough; we do not need the card itself. See our Arabic page.

Using it in the US

A Lebanese disability card does not create eligibility for US benefits, which are assessed by the US agency under its own rules. It can, however, document a long-standing condition, for example in an immigration medical waiver, a school accommodation request or a disability claim. In those cases the agency usually also wants the underlying medical reports. The translation shows what the Lebanese card says; it makes no claim about how a US agency should read it.

Send the card together with the medical file it was based on, if you have it, and we translate both in the same style. If the card was renewed, send the current one; if an older card shows a different assessment, translate both so the history is clear. See the Lebanese medical records page. If any document is in French, we translate that too; see 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.
