Notarization Services

Note: Misrad Habriut (Ministry of Health) has started a pilot program, whereby potential Olim can begin the licensing process prior to making Aliyah. For information, see: Start Your Licensing Before Aliyah

As part of the Israeli medical licensing process, Misrad HaBriut requires that certain documentation be translated into Hebrew, the translations of which must be certified by an Israeli notary. There are fixed rates for notarization which are set annually by Misrad Hamishpatim (Ministry of Justice) and are non-negotiable. For up to date rates, please see: Rates published by Misrad Hamishpatim

If you are applying to Misrad Habriut, please note that:

  1. All documents must be translated and notarized by an Israeli notary. For each document that you submit, you will need to submit 1 notarized copy, plus a photocopy of that same document. (Please also make a photocopy of each notarized document for your files.) Do not submit any original files.
  2. Make sure that your file is complete and exact when you submit it, in order to speed up the licensing process. If you are missing documents, this will lengthen the process (by months).

      3. In order to get a head start on the licensing process, some notaries allow you to fax a copy of your documentation to them prior to your Aliyah. They will begin working on the translation and upon your Aliyah will view the originals in order to certify your documents.

      Translation

      In addition to the certification fee, some notaries charge for doing the translation itself. Unlike notarization, the cost of translation does vary. We encourage you to "shop around" to find the cheapest deal for the translation. In addition, if your Hebrew is sufficient, you may translate documents yourself, which saves you money, and utilize a notary just for the notarization service (he/she may charge a lower fee to correct the translation if necessary). 

      Notaries

      The following notaries provide both translation and notarization services and offer discounts (on the translation service, not the notarization service) to Nefesh B'Nefesh Olim.

      Note: Nefesh B'Nefesh provides this listing as a public service but does not endorse the individuals or organizations that are listed. You are entitled to use any Israeli notary.
