Court experts on the Ministry of Justice roll

Lebanese court experts are governed by Decree-Law 65 of 9 September 1983 and the Code of Civil Procedure. Courts appoint experts from a roll established by the Higher Judicial Council, approved by the Minister of Justice and published in the Official Gazette; each expert is registered for one branch and one governorate. The roll includes engineers, accountants, doctors, pharmacists and sworn surveyors, and sworn translators are experts in the same sense. A court can also appoint someone off the roll, who must then take an oath before it.

An expert report is therefore a document of a court case. We translate it in full: the court and case number, the expert's name and branch, the mission given by the court, the findings, calculations, plans and the conclusion, with every signature and stamp. Annexes such as photographs, plans and invoices are included when you send them, with their captions and labels. See our Arabic page.

Reports in US proceedings

Lebanese expert reports come up in US estates, insurance claims, divorces with property in Lebanon and commercial disputes. A US court or attorney needs to see what the Lebanese court asked the expert and what the expert concluded; we keep the structure of the report so those parts are easy to find, and we translate figures and units exactly, and amounts keep their currency.

Military courts use their own list of experts, set by the army commander and approved by the defence minister, so a report from a military case names a different authority. Medical reports by forensic doctors are covered on the Lebanese medical records page. Reports by sworn translators, who sit on the same roll, are translated like any other expert document. If the report is in French, we translate it from French; 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.
