Why Notarial Certification Matters — and Why Errors Are Costly
When a document needs to cross borders — for a foreign university, a bank abroad, a citizenship application, or a real estate transaction — an ordinary signature is never enough. International authorities require notarial certification and, in most cases, an apostille stamp before they will recognize an Israeli document as legally valid. A single procedural error at this stage means your document is rejected, forcing you to restart the entire process at significant cost and delay.
The difference between a notary who handles documents routinely and one who understands the specific requirements of your destination country — Germany, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom — can mean weeks saved and thousands of shekels in avoided re-issuance costs. Our office has processed hundreds of notarial and apostille cases for clients in Israel and internationally, and we know exactly what each authority requires.

Appointed as a notary by the Israeli Ministry of Justice under the Notaries Law 5736-1976, she serves individuals, expats, and international companies requiring certified notarial documents for use across Israel and in all 120+ Hague Convention member states.

Notary & Apostille in Israel — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from individuals and international clients about notarial services, apostille certification, and the legal process in Israel.
In Israel, a notary is a licensed attorney with at least 10 years of experience, appointed by the Ministry of Justice under the Notaries Law 5736-1976. A notary is authorized to authenticate signatures, certify true copies, certify translations, and prepare notarial wills and powers of attorney with full legal weight in Israel and abroad.
An apostille is an official authentication stamp issued under the 1961 Hague Convention. It allows Israeli documents to be recognized in over 120 member countries without further legalization. You need an apostille when presenting Israeli documents — such as birth certificates, notarial translations, or powers of attorney — to foreign authorities, courts, banks, or universities.
Yes. We offer a full remote service: you send your documents by courier, we complete the notarial process and apostille procedure, and return certified documents to your address anywhere in Israel. For clients abroad, we also coordinate digital apostilles where applicable under Israeli law.
We notarize general and enduring powers of attorney, notarial translations, certified true copies, affidavits, declarations, notarial wills, company resolutions, corporate authorizations, real estate documents, and agreements requiring official notarial certification.
Standard apostille processing through the courts takes 1–3 business days. Digital apostilles for digitally signed notarial documents are typically issued the same day. Urgent processing is available in most cases. The court fee for an apostille is currently ₪41 (updated January 2026).
Notary fees in Israel are set annually by the Ministry of Justice and are uniform for all licensed notaries. A notarial translation starts at ₪289 for the first 100 words. Authentication of a signature starts at ₪176. The apostille court fee is ₪41. We provide full fee transparency with no hidden charges.
Yes. We provide certified notarial translations between Hebrew, English, and other languages. Our notary certifies that the translation is accurate and complete, giving it full legal validity in Israel and — after apostille — in all Hague Convention member states.
An enduring power of attorney (ייפוי כוח מתמשך) allows a person to designate a trusted individual to manage their affairs if they become incapacitated. It must be prepared and certified by a licensed notary and is a key estate planning tool under Israeli law, widely used as an alternative to court-ordered guardianship.
Absolutely. We assist foreign companies with notarial authentication of corporate resolutions, powers of attorney, apostille certification for foreign-use documents, and coordination with the Israeli Companies Registrar. Our office handles multilingual corporate notarial work in English, Hebrew, and Spanish.
In Israel, a notary is a specialized attorney appointed by the Ministry of Justice. While any licensed lawyer can draft contracts and represent clients in court, only a notary can issue documents with an official notarial seal — the certification that gives documents international legal validity. Not all lawyers are notaries, but all notaries are lawyers.
