Lebanese Consulate Attestation
Lebanese Consulate Attestation
The Lebanese Consulate attestation is a mandatory legalization step for any foreign-issued document that must be recognized by government bodies, courts, or institutions inside Lebanon. Whether you are returning to Lebanon for employment, registering a family event, or pursuing legal proceedings, the consular stamp confirms that your document has been properly authenticated at every preceding stage and is eligible for acceptance on Lebanese soil.
Lebanon's consular attestation requirements can shift without public notice, and the Consulate General in Dubai applies strict scrutiny to document formatting, notarization seals, and prior attestation stamps. Incomplete submissions are routinely returned, adding weeks of delay and additional courier costs. Documents that have been attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs must still pass a secondary review at the consular level, where officials verify chain-of-custody integrity from the issuing authority through each intermediate attestation body.
GreenAttest eliminates guesswork from this process. Our documentation specialists conduct a thorough pre-submission audit, catching formatting errors, missing stamps, and sequencing issues before your file reaches the consular desk. We maintain direct coordination with the Lebanese Consulate General in Dubai, track every submission in real time, and provide you with status updates at each milestone. From single-document requests to bulk corporate filings, GreenAttest delivers reliable Lebanese Consulate attestation with the speed and accuracy that time-sensitive matters demand.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ensure your document carries no corrections, overwriting, or damage, as the Lebanese Consulate will reject documents with visible alterations.
- If your document is in a language other than Arabic or English, arrange a certified Arabic translation before starting the attestation process to avoid delays.
- Keep at least two clear photocopies of every document before submission, as some Lebanese government offices require additional copies upon arrival in Lebanon.
