Birth Certificate translation

Hello,

I am an international student currently registering for French Social Security (Assurance Maladie), and I need to provide a translated birth certificate. My birth certificate was issued in Lebanon.

Before I proceed with the translation, I would like to clearly understand the exact procedure required so that my birth certificate will be accepted by your office.

My questions are:

Is it mandatory that the translation be done by a sworn translator in France (a translator certified by a French Court of Appeal)?

If I complete the translation in Lebanon, what type of certification must the translation have?

Is the translator’s stamp and signature enough?

Or must it be certified by a Lebanese translator and then authenticated by the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Or must it be validated/confirmed by the French consulate in Beirut?

Do you require authentication/legalization of the original birth certificate (for example: Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the French consulate), or is a certified translation alone sufficient?

I kindly request that you provide the exact steps to follow before I proceed, to ensure that my document will be accepted by Assurance Maladie.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
