Apostille: what is it and when is it needed?
Apostille in a 30-second video
Video transcript
An apostille is an official certification of the notary's signature on the document, so that the document is recognised in countries party to the Hague Convention. Whether an apostille is required is decided by the authority abroad, so it is worth checking with them in advance. You can collect the notarial certificate and go to the court yourself, or we can handle the whole process for you, including delivery to your door in central Israel.
Full explanation: Apostille on documents for use abroad. An apostille is the certificate that allows an Israeli document to be accepted by an authority in another country. There are two separate routes: the Magistrates' Court for documents signed by a notary, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for certificates issued by an Israeli authority. That page sets out the precise distinction, the fees for 2026, and the route for countries that are not party to the Hague Convention.
