Documents for Israel: translation and legalization

Apostille Convention memberIn force since 14 August 1978

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.

Documents from Israel for use in China

Public documents issued in Israel and apostilled by the local competent authority can be used in China, usually with a certified Chinese translation. ABC Translation offices abroad can help with the local step.

Translation for Israel

The main languages for Israel are Hebrew, Arabic. We provide certified and notarised translation and interpreting between these languages and Chinese. Where an authority requires a local sworn or accredited translator, we confirm this in advance.

Note: the convention may not apply between certain member states where an objection has been lodged, and receiving authorities change their requirements. The above is the general route; we confirm it for your specific document before quoting.

Frequently asked questions

How long does legalization for Israel take?

Notarisation plus apostille usually takes about 1 to 3 weeks depending on the document and region, with express options for some.

Can I use an apostille for my destination country?

It depends on whether the country is a member and whether the convention applies between it and China. Check our country pages or ask us; we confirm case by case.

Do I still need the embassy after an apostille?

No. The apostille replaces consular legalization, which is the main benefit of the convention.
