Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a birth certificate translation in Israel?

You need a translated birth certificate for many situations in Israel, including:

Aliyah — required by the Jewish Agency and Misrad HaKlita
Misrad HaPnim — for ID registration, citizenship, and status changes
Marriage — the Rabbinate requires birth certificate translations
School enrollment — some schools and kindergartens request translated documents
Legal proceedings — courts and lawyers may require certified translations

Does my birth certificate need an apostille?

It depends on the country where the certificate was issued. Countries that signed the Hague Convention (Russia, Ukraine, USA, France, and most EU countries) require an apostille. Countries outside the convention may need consular legalization instead. We will advise you on the exact requirements for your country at no extra charge.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

A standard birth certificate translation costs 200-300 NIS depending on the language and complexity. Standard turnaround is 24 hours; express service is available within 2-3 hours. Send us your document for an exact quote — it’s free and takes 15 minutes.

Can you translate old Soviet birth certificates?

Yes. We have extensive experience with Soviet-era birth certificates — including handwritten entries, faded stamps, Cyrillic text, and outdated city names. We accurately translate all details and note the modern equivalents (for example, Leningrad → Saint Petersburg). Our translations of Soviet documents are accepted by all Israeli authorities.

Do you handle birth certificates from different countries differently?

Yes. Each country has a unique birth certificate format:

Russia / Ukraine — Soviet and post-Soviet formats, Cyrillic, registry office stamps
USA — state-issued certificates, varying by state
France — acte de naissance, extrait with or without filiation
Ethiopia — Amharic documents, sometimes church-issued

Our translators are familiar with all these formats and ensure accurate, accepted translations.
