Verification of Public Documents
1.Verification by means of an "Apostille"stamp
In 1978, Israel signed and ratified the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents - 1961 (hereinafter: the Hague Convention). The purpose of this Convention was to shorten the processes required for a particular country to recognize the official documents issued by another country, by means of “Apostille” certification.
Public documents and certificates that were issued in one of the countries, that are signatories to the above Convention, must bear the “Apostille” stamp to be valid for presentation in Israel.
For a list of the countries that signed the Convention, and details about the authority competent to grant “Apostille” certification in each country, click here.
To obtain information on how to obtain an “Apostille” stamp in the United States, you can refer to the US Department of State website at www.dos.state.ny.us.

2. Verfication by means other than an "Apostille" stamp
Verification of a document in a country that is not a signatory to the Hague Convention should be implemented as follows:
After the document is verified by the appropriate authority in the country where the certificate was issued (usually the Foreign Ministry or Ministry of Justice), the Israeli consular representative at the mission located in the country where the certificate was issued verifies the signature of the competent authority.
