Inheritance and citizenship proceedings abroad often require the original death certificate of a relative who died in Israel. We collect it, apostille it and translate it.
A death certificate is issued only to a relative of the deceased. With your request, you will need to provide documents that prove your family relationship to the deceased.
For a more distant relative, such as a grandchild or great-grandchild, this usually means a chain of certificates connecting each generation. We tell you exactly what is needed when we review your request.
To collect documents on your behalf we need your power of attorney. Choose the route that fits you:
Israeli citizens and residents aged 18 or over with an active Israeli national digital ID (GovID) can grant us a power of attorney online through the Population and Immigration Authority. No notary and no mail.
Israeli citizens abroad can sign the power of attorney directly before the Israeli consul, without a notary.
Anyone else signs before a notary in their country of residence. The signature then needs consular authentication. We send you the exact wording.
For the embassy and notary routes we need the original signed document, sent to our office by courier.
Often yes, under the same relationship rules. Order them together and we handle all of them in the same visit.
Usually birth certificates or registry extracts that connect you to the deceased, generation by generation. We tell you exactly which ones are needed for your case.
Give us the full name, the approximate dates and the names of the parents. Adv. Pudim will advise whether the record can be located with those details.
Our attorneys and office staff collect the documents and take them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem for apostille. Notarized translations are apostilled at the Magistrate's Court. Every file is handled under Adv. Pudim's supervision.
Upload the authority's requirements with your request. Adv. Pudim reviews them before quoting, so we order the document the authority actually asked for.
It depends on the documents, the issuing authority and the delivery address. We give you an estimate with the quote and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
Your quote lists every government fee separately, such as issuing fees and apostille fees, next to our professional fee, so you can see exactly what you pay for.
Yes. Send one request listing all the documents and people. We handle them together, which usually saves time and courier costs.
Send us your request. Adv. Pudim reviews every request personally and replies with a written quote.
