Notarial Translation of a Divorce Certificate
Notarial translation of a divorce certificate is required in a range of international proceedings — from citizenship or immigration applications, to remarriage registration abroad, to legal and financial proceedings requiring proof of personal status. Embassies, immigration authorities, foreign courts, and banking institutions require the divorce certificate to be translated and certified by a licensed notary. The notarial certification gives the document international legal validity.
What is a notarial translation of a divorce certificate?
A notarial translation of a divorce certificate is an official translation accompanied by the certification of a licensed notary under the Notaries Law, 1976 (חוק הנוטריונים, תשל״ו-1976). The notary certifies that the translation is accurate and faithful to the original. Two paths: (1) The notary translates personally, with a 50% surcharge; (2) An external translator translates and the notary certifies the declaration. The notary translates all types — Rabbinical court divorce certificates, family court divorce decrees, and Interior Ministry confirmations.
