Translating Lebanese Divorce Certificates for Australian Purposes
Lebanese divorce certificates are issued through the relevant religious court for each community. Sunni and Shia divorces are processed through Sharia courts and result in a talaq or khul' certificate. Christian divorces go through the relevant church tribunal. Civil divorces may be contracted abroad and registered in Lebanon.
Lebanese divorce documents vary by religious denomination but typically include both parties' names, religious community, marriage details, grounds for divorce and the court or tribunal seal. Arabic is the primary language, with French often appearing as a second language on official documents.
