WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Lebanese Academic Transcript (Relevé de Notes / Kashf 'Alamat (كشف علامات))
The Lebanese transcript — "Relevé de Notes" or "Kashf 'Alamat" — trips up American reviewers because it uses the French 20-point scale, not letter grades or a 4.0 GPA: 20/20 is a theoretical ceiling, and a 13–14 average is genuinely strong. Secondary marks come from MEHE's official-exam results for the Baccalaureate; university relevés issue from each registrar in Arabic (Lebanese University), French (USJ), or English (AUB, LAU). For credential evaluation supporting a visa or licensure, USCIS-track evaluators want a certified English translation that keeps every course, the coefficient-weighted "/20" marks, and the pass ("réussi") notations intact rather than converting them to A–F. We translate the grading legend verbatim and never silently "Americanize" the numbers — the evaluator performs that conversion. Each translation preserves the credit and coefficient columns and the official-exam session date, then closes with the translator's signed certificate of accuracy so the transcript pairs cleanly with the diploma in the same immigration filing.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Lebanese Academic Transcript Comes From
Lebanese academic transcripts are issued by the awarding school or university itself — the exact office and registration system are described above. Lebanon is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so when authentication is needed a record is legalized by the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants and then by the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Lebanese Academic Transcript Translated
For your Lebanese academic transcript, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Lebanese original.

Common Lebanese Academic Transcript Pitfalls
Lebanese transcripts must preserve every subject, grade, credit, and the original grading scale so an evaluator can convert them; dropping the scale or rounding grades invites a rejection.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Lebanese academic transcript translation cost?
A standard Lebanese academic transcript is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Lebanese academic transcript translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
My Lebanese birth record is an 'Ikhraj Qaid,' not a birth certificate. Is that acceptable?
Yes. The Ikhraj Qaid (civil-status extract from the Nofous) is Lebanon's standard vital record and is fully acceptable to USCIS once it is accompanied by a certified English translation. We translate the extract exactly as issued, including the registry and family numbers and the sect field.
