Chinese documents for use in Israel

Israel is a party to the Apostille Convention (in force for it since 14 August 1978). Chinese public documents apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an authorised local foreign affairs office can generally be used in Israel directly, without Israel embassy legalization. Private documents such as declarations or powers of attorney are notarised first.
