Alright, so the other day I decided I needed to get my hands on a Lebanese ID card. I’ve heard it can be a bit of a mess, but I figured, why not try doing it online? Let me tell you, it was quite the experience.
First, I started by searching around a little. Turns out, there’s a lot of talk about borders and stuff online, especially when it comes to Lebanon. I stumbled upon some articles about the maritime border with Israel, which was interesting, but not really what I was looking for. I needed something like how to navigate the process. That took time.
Then I found this service that lets you check your border number in some system called “Jawazat”. Sounds fancy, right? But it’s mainly for GCC citizens. So I guess I needed something else.

After more digging, I decided to use maps. I mean, who doesn’t use maps these days? You can find directions, check traffic, all that good stuff. I used this to see if maybe there was an office nearby that could handle this.
While searching for related information, I also checked out some search engines, just to see what else was out there. You know, the usual stuff people use to search things online.
I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out the right websites and forms to use. It felt like I was going in circles at some points. But eventually, I managed to piece it all together. I found a government website where I could apply for the ID.
The application itself was pretty standard. I filled in my details, uploaded some documents – the usual routine. It wasn’t too complicated, thankfully.
After submitting the application, I had to wait. And wait. It took a while, but eventually, I got a notification that my application was approved. I felt awesome.
Then came the tricky part – actually getting the physical ID card. I went to the designated office, stood in line for a while, and finally got it.
Here’s a rundown of what I did:
- Searched online for information about Lebanese ID cards.
- Found a service for checking border numbers but it was not suitable.
- Used maps to find nearby offices that might handle ID applications.
- Used search engines to gather more information.
- Found a government website to apply for the ID online.
- Filled out the application form and uploaded the necessary documents.
- Waited for the application to be processed.
- Received notification of approval.
- Visited a government office to collect the physical ID card.
Success
Man, what a process! But you know what? I did it. I got my Lebanese ID card. It wasn’t the easiest thing, but with a little patience and a lot of clicking around, I made it happen. Now, if anyone asks, I can show them my shiny new ID. It’s not exactly rocket science, but hey, it’s something.
