What is an apostille?

An apostille is an official government signature on a notarized document that confirms the authenticity of the document and its translation. This service is required for using a document abroad, allowing it to be recognized as valid and legitimate in another country.

If you reside in Tel Aviv or Ashdod and need an apostille for your documents, you can contact our notary. We provide qualified and professional assistance in obtaining an apostille for your documents. Our specialists have extensive experience in this field and can provide you with the necessary support quickly and efficiently.

Why might you need an apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel apostilles documents issued by state authorities within Israel.

The need for apostilling documents issued by the state arises for Israeli citizens when enrolling in educational institutions, obtaining work visas, getting married or divorced, and other situations.

The apostille procedure for documents issued by state authorities is required under international conventions, meaning that an Israeli state document is legalized through apostilling by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel.

Which official documents are legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

  • Birth certificate
  • Marriage certificate
  • Divorce certificate
  • Citizenship certificate
  • Official extracts
  • Court decisions
  • Academic diplomas
  • High school diploma
  • Criminal record certificate
  • Inheritance decisions

It is important to note that for apostilling at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only original documents certified by a state authority need to be provided, and the state fee must also be paid.

We are ready to assist our clients in the shortest possible time and provide high-quality notarial services at prices that do not exceed the rates set by Israeli legislation.

    Frequently asked questions about apostille

    What is an apostille and why is it needed?

    It is a certificate by which a state confirms the authenticity of the signature and seal on a document, so the document is accepted in another country party to the 1961 Hague Convention. Without it an Israeli birth certificate, diploma or notarial certification will generally not be recognised abroad.

    Who issues the apostille in Israel?

    It depends on the document. For public documents issued by state authorities — birth, marriage and death certificates, Ministry of Interior extracts — the apostille comes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For documents certified by a notary, including translations and powers of attorney, it is issued by the Magistrate's Court. We handle both routes for the client.

    Translate before or after the apostille?

    The usual order is: translate the document, have the notary certify the translation, then obtain the apostille on that certification. If the destination country requires an apostille on the original itself, that is obtained first. Confirm the receiving institution's requirements in advance — it saves both time and money.

    How long does it take?

    The notarial part is normally completed the same day. Issuing the apostille depends on the workload of the court or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and usually takes a few working days. We give a firm estimate once we see the specific set of documents.

    What if the destination country is not in the Hague Convention?

    Then consular legalisation applies: the document is certified by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then by the consulate of the destination country. It takes longer than an apostille, but the result is the same — recognition abroad.

    Can you apostille a document issued outside Israel?

    No. An apostille is issued only by the country where the document was produced. If you need a document from another country, we can obtain it together with the apostille and translation through our document retrieval service.
