Rabbinate marriage certificates and Rabbinical Court divorce certificates need an extra signature before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will apostille them. We take care of every step.
Before a physical apostille, a marriage certificate issued by a religious council or the Rabbinate must be signed on the back by an authorized signatory of the religious council or Rabbinate.
A divorce certificate from a Rabbinical Court needs the signature of the court's authorized signatory for apostille. We obtain these signatures, then apostille and translate the certificate.
Please note: At this stage we handle certificates issued by the Rabbinate and the Rabbinical Courts. Certificates from other religious courts are not yet included.
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.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostilles a Rabbinate marriage certificate only after an authorized signatory of the religious council or Rabbinate signs it, and a Rabbinical Court divorce certificate only after the court's authorized signatory signs it. We arrange this signature for you.
