FAQ's
What is the role of a notary, and why is a notarial certification required?
A notary’s role is to verify, authenticate, and sign documents to grant them recognized legal validity in Israel and abroad. Notarial certification is often required for signing powers of attorney, authenticating translations of official documents (such as birth or education certificates), and verifying legal documents for international use.
When is a notarized translation needed?
A notarized translation is required for documents intended for official entities, especially in foreign countries. Examples include birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic records, or professional certifications. The notary certifies that the translation is accurate, giving it legal validity for official purposes.
What is an apostille, and when is it necessary?
An apostille is a certification that a notarized document from Israel is valid for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention. An apostille is required when a notarized document is intended for use outside Israel, and it can be obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or from Israeli courts.
How are fees for notarial services determined?
Notarial services in Israel are subject to fixed fees published by the Ministry of Justice and updated annually. The cost varies based on the type of service, such as signature authentication, notarized translations, or powers of attorney, with each service priced according to a predetermined rate.
Can a notary authenticate a signature if the signer is not physically present?
No, the signer’s physical presence is required for the notary to verify their identity and willingness to sign. By law, a notary must personally witness the signer in order to provide notarial certification.
How long does it take to obtain a notarial certification?
In most cases, notarial certification can be provided during the meeting itself. The time needed may vary based on the type of document and its complexity, but generally, it is a quick process.
Can any notary certify a translation?
A notary may only certify a translation if they are proficient in the required language. If the notary does not know the language, a professional translator is required, and the notary will certify the translation based on the translator’s affidavit.
