Issued by the civil registry where you are registered
The Lebanese identity card (تذكرة الهوية) is issued free of charge by the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities, through the civil registry office of the district where the person is registered, which is usually the family's home district. The State Department describes it as a red, white and green card the size of a credit card, with the holder's biographic details and photograph. It cannot be issued as a certified copy, so what you send us is a scan of the card itself, both sides.
The card is the document Lebanese use for administration at home: the Ministry of Justice, for instance, tells applicants to fill in its forms exactly as written on the identity card or civil registration extract. Its details come from the person's entry in the civil register, the same entry that appears on the individual extract and the birth certificate. The passport is the travel document.
Register details, religion and names
The register number and place of registration tie the card to the family's other civil documents, so we copy them character by character. Civil registration documents have traditionally shown the holder's religion; citizens may now have that notation removed without approval from religious authorities. Whatever your card shows is translated as it stands. If the card and your civil registration extract disagree on any detail, we translate each as printed and flag the difference in a note; only the civil registry can correct its entry.
Names are in Arabic. The translation transliterates them and follows the spelling in your passport on request, which keeps the card consistent with your other translated documents. A US bank, DMV or employer may ask for the card as a second identity document, and an immigration file may also need your individual or family extract, which shows details the card does not. See our Arabic 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need both sides?
Yes. Each side carries different data, and both are translated.
Can I get a certified copy of my ID card?
No. The State Department notes none are issued, so send a scan of the card.
My card shows my religion.
We translate it as printed. You can ask the civil registry to remove the notation.
