REMINDER! Verify your presence in Lebanon via My UNHCR

Have you verified your presence in Lebanon via the new My UNHCR Self-Service portal?

To maintain an active UNHCR file and continued access to services and assistance all refugees known to UNHCR in Lebanon must confirm their presence in the country within one month of receiving an SMS from UNHCR with a link (lb.myunhcr.id) to My UNHCR. If required, you can also validate your Red Card via this portal.

If you received an SMS from UNHCR but have not yet completed Presence Verification, please do it as soon as possible. You can also access My UNHCR directly through this link: lb.myunhcr.id to complete the exercise.
