Additional notes
- Children must be registered in order of birth, from eldest to youngest.
- A self-addressed, prepaid or stamped envelope must be brought at the time of your application.
Important
Either spouse may, individually, request the registration in Lebanon of the birth of one of their children born in Australia with the competent Lebanese civil status registers. Neither party may claim lack of knowledge of, or lack of consent to, this registration: registering the birth of a child born in Australia from a valid, established marriage is a confirmatory and declaratory act of an existing legal fact rather than a constitutive one, so it does not depend on the consent of either party.
