Does Lebanon accept apostilles from Armenia?
No. Lebanon is not a party to the Apostille Convention. Armenian documents need consular legalization: first by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then by the competent mission of Lebanon.
Into which language should documents for Lebanon be translated?
Usually into Arabic, French. The office receiving your documents may require that the translation is done or certified in Lebanon; we confirm this before starting.
How long does it take to prepare documents for Lebanon?
The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs step is usually quick; the consulate's processing time varies from a few days to several weeks. We give you a realistic estimate with the quote.
