Translation of Official Documents

Before submitting official documents to a foreign country or international body, the documents must be translated into the language of the foreign country, or any other language required. In most cases, a certified notarized translation is required, and the translated documents must receive a notary public stamp and an apostille stamp.

The translation of official documents is a broad topic involving many types of documents submitted to various organizations, such as educational institutions, government ministries, public bodies, tax authorities, consulates, embassies, state authorities, or any other institution.

Official Israeli documents must be translated carefully to ensure that the translation adheres to current acceptable usage of the target language, and that it fully conveys and best matches the meaning of the source language. It is not a good idea to rely on machine translation, since the translation must be based on an understanding of all grammatical conventions and other requirements of the foreign country to which the documents are being submitted. Some countries also require notarized authentication of translated documents.

Translation of official documents is also required when submitting foreign official documents to institutions or official authorities in Israel.

Official Israeli Documents

Some official Israeli documents that must be translated before being submitted to institutions of a foreign country include:

  • birth certificates;
  • population registry extracts;
  • marriage certificates;
  • IDF discharge documents;
  • death certificates; and more.

This list is partial, and includes only the most commonly translated official documents.

Apostilization of Original Documents

Any official Israeli document must be certified or stamped before being submitted to the authorities of a foreign state participating in the Hague Convention (an international treaty that enables public documents issued in one of the signatory countries to be recognized in all the other countries).
