Hello. The U.S Consulate in Hong Kong has asked my fiance' for her non crimminal record from Lebanon. As of right now, as far as I know the U.S. does not have an Embassy in Lebanon and there is none in Hong Kong. She has sent 2 letters asking for her non crimminal record to the Lebanon Consulate in Beijing China and also several Emails to them but as of today there has been NO response. I called the NVC in Washington DC and they told me that it is almost impossible if not impossible to get it. She has reciepts from the postal service and also copys of the Emails she sent to the Lebanon Consulate. Is this enough for her to prove that she tried to retrieve any documents for her stay in Lebanon?

The US having diplomatic relations with Lebanon is not at issue, even if they did they would be of no help..

Police and Prison Records

Available. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued by the Judiciary Police Department, Internal Security Forces, Minister of the Interior. It does not contain any information about any political activities or affiliation to any terrorist, military, or illegal organization. It only shows any final court decision, final conviction and/or court sentence.

After completing his/her sentence, an individual could request that the Ministry of Justice remove the sentence from his "Judiciary Police Record" after three to ten years, depending on the type of crime. In 1992, the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" for all crimes committed before 1991. Also, in 1996 the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" to all drug charges-related crimes committed before 1994.

The criminal records are indexed and in alphabetical order. They include, in addition to the individual's name, the number and place of each individual's place of civil registration. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued in Arabic and signed by the Chief of the Judiciary Department.

To obtain the "Judiciary Police Record", the individual who is physically present in Lebanon, must personally apply, accompanied by his/her Lebanese identity card to the Police Record Department, Internal Security Forces, Ministry of Interior. The document will be issued within 48 hours.

For those residing outside Lebanon, the request must be processed through Lebanese embassies/consulates, but applicants may experience extremely long waiting periods before they receive the document, or may not receive them at all. The "Judiciary Police Record" may also be requested through a lawyer having a power of attorney from the individual authorizing the request. The "Judiciary Police Record" presented by an individual does not mean that the individual is clear. It just states that "this person does not have any court sentence against him".
