Translating Lebanese Birth Certificates for Australian Purposes
Lebanese birth certificates are issued by the Civil Registry (Nufus / النفوس) through the Directorate General of Personal Status. Lebanon's multi-denominational system means personal status records — including births — are managed separately for each recognised religious community (Sunni, Shia, Maronite, Greek Orthodox, Druze and others), as well as through the civil registry.
Lebanese birth certificates typically include the child's full name, date and place of birth, father's and mother's details including their religious community, and the registrar's seal. Many Lebanese civil registry documents contain both Arabic and French text — reflecting Lebanon's bilingual administrative heritage.
