Lebanon Certificate Attestation in Dubai — Lebanese Document Legalization
How does Lebanon embassy attestation work in Dubai?
Lebanon is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Lebanese documents require the full attestation chain for international use, including the UAE — an apostille is not available. For UAE use, the chain is: Lebanese notarization → Lebanese MOFA attestation → UAE Embassy in Beirut → UAE MOFA. AttestPort handles the complete process with doorstep pickup and delivery across Dubai.
About Lebanon Certificate Attestation
Lebanon is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Lebanese documents require the full attestation chain for international use — an apostille is not available. Documents are authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants in Beirut and then legalised by the UAE Embassy in Beirut, because MOFA processes documents issued outside the UAE through UAE missions abroad. For UAE employment, residency, and visa purposes, the full attestation chain is required, ending with UAE MOFA attestation. The Embassy of Lebanon is located on Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoom Road, Abu Dhabi (P.O. Box 4023, phone: +971 2 449 2100). The Consulate General of Lebanon is located on Street #3, Umm Hurair 1, Bur Dubai (near the Syrian Consulate, phone: +971 4 397 7450). Both offices provide Lebanese consular services for nationals in the UAE — contact them to confirm appointment requirements and current service hours. The Lebanese community is one of the largest Arab expatriate groups in the UAE, with significant presence in business, hospitality, and professional services. The attestation process covers educational certificates from Lebanese universities (including AUB, LAU, USJ, and public universities), personal documents such as birth and marriage certificates, and commercial documents for business operations. Lebanese educational documents from the Lebanese Baccalaureate system, university degrees, and professional certifications are widely recognized in the UAE. The Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Lebanon handles the initial verification of educational documents before they proceed to the MOFA attestation step. AttestPort coordinates with partners in Beirut for the Lebanon-side steps and manages the UAE-side processing from our Dubai office.
