We recommend all
Lebanese who wish to obtain Lebanese passports, to present their applications at
least three months before the expiry date of their passports. These applications are
regularly sent to Lebanon by the diplomatic pouch.
Express Mail Service: The General Directorate of the Lebanese General Security has authorized
the DHL's FastTrack Service to transport the passports' applications in a fast way. This service is optional; it is at the
expense of the person concerned and it is available by visiting
the following website: https://fasttracklb.dhl.com
It is no longer possible to add a minor child to either parent's Lebanese
passports. In the absence of an Individual Extract of Civil Status, the
Embassy could eventually issue a "Laissez-Passer", valid for one year
and for several trips for a new-born who should be already registered in the
Embassy.
Conditions and
requirements to obtain a new passport:
* Fill out a Passport Application
* In case of loss/theft of the Lebanese passport, the holder should provide a police report and a copy of the lost/stolen passport, if available. And fill out the following form: Lebanese Lost Passport

Both parents should be present in person at the Embassy and sign a consent
letter, authorizing the minor (under eighteen years old) to obtain a passport.
Those who wish to add their professions on their passports should provide a
certificate or an official card issued by a professional syndicate or by a
Lebanese official institute.
In case of divorce, dissolution of marriage, abandonment or death, the legal
guardian should present the valid tutelage in Lebanon in order to apply for a
passport for a minor.
The Embassy informs (by phone or email) the new passport holder of the arrival
of his passport by diplomatic bag/pouch from Beirut. The concerned person
should either be present at the Embassy and bring his/her old passport in order to collect the new passport.
If the holder of a new passport does not collect his passport in one year, the
Embassy will return the passport to the General Directorate of the General
