Notarial Translation to Greek in Israel

The Greek language is considered one of the oldest languages in the world (over 3,000 years old), and is also one of the official languages of the European Union. Greek is spoken by more than 13 million people, residing in Greece, Cyprus, the Balkans, and other European countries. The geographical proximity between Greece and Israel greatly facilitates commercial and touristic relations between the two countries. Promoting these relations, in both cases, raises the need for the translation of marketing documents and other documents exchanged between the two countries through companies, offices, and various bodies. These documents must be translated with a notarial translation into Greek and, at times, from Greek to Hebrew or English.

Commercial and Tourism Relations Between Israel and Greece

Greece is a neighboring country to Israel and serves as a popular tourist destination for Israelis. Apart from being an appealing vacation destination, Greece, together with Greek Cyprus, has become a business destination over the past decade for Israelis, who often wish to purchase local real estate, whether to live in or for business purposes.

Greek and Israeli citizens engaging in business relations between them benefit from a tax treaty signed between the two countries, which prevents the payment of double taxation (the same tax to both countries) on transactions between them.

Greek – An Official Language in Cyprus

Cyprus has two official languages: Greek and Turkish. English is also widely spoken in Cyprus but is not defined as an official language.

The process of civil marriage in Cyprus requires the presentation of personal documents and certificates (birth certificate, registration extract, etc.). These documents must be translated with a notarial translation into Greek or English. In certain cases, an Apostille stamp may be required so that the entity receiving the documents recognizes their authenticity (depending on which municipality or body the documents are submitted to).

Property of Holocaust Survivors Left in Greece

Greece is similar to other countries that were occupied during World War II, where Jewish survivors emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly to Israel. Today, Jewish Holocaust survivors and their descendants are engaged in efforts to reclaim their lost property in Greece.

This process requires locating documents proving their connection to Greece. Such procedures involve the submission of documents translated with a notarial translation into Greek.

Jews who are heirs of Holocaust survivors who once lived in Greece are often required to contact governmental institutions in Greece and submit documents proving their familial ties to their ancestors, translated with a notarial translation into Greek.
