stupid embassy!
look this is confusing, today i was the nofos(vital statistics) registering my brothers son birth, i asked about registering a civil marriage in lebanon he told me it can be done, BUT u need to follow it coz alot of the ppl working there have no idea if its possible or not and some just go ahead and refuse it.
what u shud do is 1st, apply for ur marriage long form certificate from the Ontario registere general website i gave u, pay extra(30$ i think) and ull get in a few days,this is to save time.
then concerning ur ikhraj kayed, check with ur aunt if she knows the Mokhtar he can get her ur ikhraj kayed without any power of attorney.if not then u shud do a power of attorny for u aunt or husband only allowing him\her represent u in the nofos ya3ni a special power of attorny and NOT general(special will coast u 25$,general 50$).
when u register the marriage the embassy will give u(not right away after a week or 2) a letter that says u registerd ur marriage and ur marriage certificate with the information are sent to lebanon in the diplomatic courrier number.... date..., u scan this paper and send it to ur husband, he takes it and go to the ministry of foriegn affairs up to floor 3, and ask them about it, if it arrived they will give it to him and then he will need to go register it at the nofos.
concerning a passport, when u recive ur recent ikharj kayed, u cna use it.
u bring 4 recent passport photos(not canadian size,the lebanese)
ur ikhraj kayed and ur family ikhraj kayed,but note that u can wait till u register and get ur own family ikhraj kayed(u and ur hsband) or just get them the regular,the only difference is u will be mentioned married to ...... or not.it really doesnt matter.
and the finger prints, u do it at the embassy.
ull have to pay 40$ if u want it for one year or 200$ and will be valid for 5 years.
apply as soon as possible coz as i know they send the file to lebanon,the embassy does not issue passports.it might have changed now iam not sure.
btw u can go with ur canadian passport and ur ikhraj kayed and u wont pay nothing, u dont need a visa and u DONT need to pay 80$,i come with my venezuelan passport and i show them my SYRIAN i.d and they let me in for free and for 6 months.
