Israeli documents for your Romanian citizenship file
Romanian citizenship files need Israeli civil documents as paper originals with a physical apostille. We collect them in Israel, apostille them and send them to you or to the office handling your file.
Why Romanian files need paper originals
Romania is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Israeli documents are accepted with an apostille instead of consular legalization. In our experience with Romanian citizenship files, the authorities require original paper certificates with a physical apostille. A downloaded certificate with a digital apostille is not enough.
This is one of our office's core practice areas. We handle Romanian citizenship and passport files and work with partner law offices in Romania, so we know which Israeli documents these files usually need.
Israeli documents often needed in a Romanian file
- Birth certificate of the applicant, and of children included in the application.
- Marriage certificate, from the Rabbinate where applicable.
- Divorce certificate, if relevant to names or family status.
- Name-change certificate, where a name was changed in Israel.
- Extended population registry extract showing previous names and family details.
- Death certificate of a parent or grandparent who was a Romanian citizen.
- Certificate Attesting Israeli Citizenship (the official Israeli citizenship certificate), where the file asks for it.
Please note: The exact list depends on your citizenship route and on the instructions in your file. Send us the list you received and Adv. Pudim checks every item before we start.
Translation into Romanian
Romanian citizenship files need the Israeli documents translated into Romanian. Our service provides the apostilled originals and, where required, a notarized English translation.
If our office handles your Romanian citizenship file, the Romanian translation is arranged as part of the file. If another office handles it, we can courier the apostilled originals directly to that office.
Your power of attorney: three ways to sign
To collect documents on your behalf we need your power of attorney. Choose the route that fits you:
Online, in minutes
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.
At an Israeli embassy or consulate
Israeli citizens abroad can sign the power of attorney directly before the Israeli consul, without a notary.
Before a local notary
Anyone else signs before a notary in their country of residence. The notarized power of attorney must then be authenticated with an apostille. We send you the exact wording.
For the embassy and notary routes we need the original signed document, sent to our office by courier.
