What you receive
Your Original, Returned Ready for Use in Lebanon
Nothing gets legalised in copy form; it’s your actual original document that goes through the process. Once it carries both the FCDO apostille and the stamp from the Consulate General of the Republic of Lebanon, we send it straight back to you via secure, tracked courier, fully prepared for use in Lebanon.
The Lebanon stage, explained
What Does Lebanon Attestation Actually Involve?
Think of it as the closing stamp in the chain. By the time a document reaches this stage, it’s already been apostilled by the FCDO. The Lebanese Embassy in London simply adds its own physical stamp to that same original. It’s a confirmation that your paperwork has passed through every required check, not a review of what’s written on the document itself.
What it confirms
It confirms the document has completed the required legalisation chain. It does not verify the document's contents.
i Any further step requested by an employer, university, ministry or other authority inside Lebanon is separate unless confirmed in your order.

Which UK Documents Need Lebanon Attestation?
There’s no single list here; it really comes down to what the document is for and who in Lebanon will be receiving it, so double-checking with your employer, university or the relevant authority is always worth doing. That said, personal, academic, business and legal paperwork all tend to follow a similar path: certification if it’s required, then the FCDO apostille, then the embassy stamp. Some documents can skip straight to the apostille stage; others need a solicitor or notary involved first. We’ll map out which applies to yours before anything gets started.

What Lebanon Certificate Attestation Costs and How Long It Takes
Cost and turnaround aren’t one-size-fits-all for Lebanon certificate attestation; they shift depending on the document itself, the format it’s in, and which authority in Lebanon will be accepting it. You’ll always know the full price and timeline upfront, before we touch your paperwork.
i Attestation-only orders (document already apostilled) are typically faster. We confirm timing once we have reviewed your document.

What Might Still Be Needed Once You're in Lebanon

Common Questions About Getting Documents Legalised for Lebanon
What's the difference between an FCDO apostille and Lebanon attestation?
The apostille is a UK government stamp confirming your document is genuine, issued under the Hague Convention. Lebanon attestation is the extra step added afterwards by the Lebanese Embassy in London, confirming the document has gone through the full legalisation chain and is accepted for use in Lebanon.
How long does Lebanon attestation usually take?
It depends on where your document is starting from. If it already has a physical FCDO apostille, embassy-only attestation is typically quicker. If it already has a physical FCDO apostille, embassy-only attestation is quicker; if not, the full Lebanon apostille and attestation route usually takes around a week. We confirm your exact timeline once we’ve reviewed the document.
Does my document need to be an original, or will a certified copy work for Lebanon attestation?
Most Lebanese authorities require the physical original, especially for birth, marriage and academic certificates. Certified copies can sometimes be used, but this depends on the receiving authority in Lebanon, so it’s worth confirming before you submit anything.
How much does Lebanon certificate attestation cost?
Pricing depends on how much work your document still needs. If it already has an FCDO apostille, embassy-only attestation starts from £90. If it needs the full route, certification, apostille and attestation, pricing starts from £180, with commercial documents priced separately.
Can I send my documents by post, or do I need to visit in person?
You don’t need to visit anywhere in person. Once you send us your documents, we handle every UK stage, including hand-delivery to the FCDO and the Lebanese Embassy, and return your original to you by secure tracked delivery.
Will I get my original document back after Lebanon apostille and attestation?
Yes. Your original document is what gets legalised; both the FCDO apostille and the Embassy’s attestation stamp are applied directly to it. Once both stages are complete, it’s sent back to you fully ready for use in Lebanon.
Do I need anything else once my document arrives in Lebanon?
Sometimes. A few Lebanese authorities ask for further steps locally, such as a certified Arabic translation or an additional ministry endorsement. These are separate from UK-based Lebanon attestation and are handled once you’re in the country, so we’ll let you know if any apply to your situation.
