This service is especially useful for clients seeking efficient, legally valid notarization with reduced need for multiple visits.
Apostilles
Document Authentication
As a notary, one of my key responsibilities is providing apostille services in accordance with the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille is a form of authentication used to validate public documents for use abroad in countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961.I assist clients in obtaining apostilles for notarized documents such as powers of attorney, affidavits, certified translations, and other legal declarations. For these types of documents, I can issue the apostille directly at the court (forum), once the notarial act has been completed. This includes certified copies and notarized powers of attorney, which can be apostilled on-site, making the process faster and more convenient.For original public documents issued by the State of Israel—such as birth or marriage certificates, diplomas, and other civil registry records—the apostille must be issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.My role is to guide clients through both procedures, ensuring that all documents meet legal requirements and are properly prepared for use abroad, in full compliance with international standards.

Professional Guidance
I offer notarization services for documents in Portuguese, English, Hebrew, and Spanish. Whether you need to notarize powers of attorney, declarations, translations, or other legal documents, I ensure each document is handled with accuracy and in compliance with legal standards.
Signature Recognition
Individuals and legal entities
I provide official signature recognition services for both individuals and legal entities. This includes verifying and certifying signatures on powers of attorney, contracts, and various legal documents, ensuring their authenticity for use in Israel and abroad.
For individuals, a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a passport or Israeli ID card) is required.
For legal entities, additional documentation must be provided, such as a certificate of incorporation, power of attorney, or corporate authorization confirming the signatory's authority to act on behalf of the company.
