uabb domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/sites/lawfirmbackup_200125/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131If bill translation does not sound to you like a particularly important service, then you should know \u2013 it most certainly is. Why would you want to translate your gas bill, Arnona<\/a> (property tax) bill, water bill, etc.? There are situations in life where this is crucial, such as cases that involve proving where you live or paying a particularly high amount of money.<\/p>\n If you are looking for bill-translation services, it is important that you know all about this field.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you are a permanent resident of Israel who also has foreign citizenship<\/a>, and you suddenly discover that you have to pay tax to the other country of which you are a citizen. This is not a far-fetched scenario; on the contrary, it is very common. If this happens to you, you will need to do more than just declare: “No, I live in Israel and mainly reside<\/a> there.” To prove that your “center of life” is in Israel, you will need to present documents that unambiguously show this is the case.<\/p>\n Now you will finally be able to make use of all those bills that normally just collect dust. Translating your gas bills, Arnona bills, or water bills, or translating any other type of formal document<\/a>, will unambiguously and indisputably prove that your primary place of residence is in Israel and will help you to quickly complete the bureaucratic procedure.<\/p>\n A regular bill is proof of what you want to tell the world \u2013 that you really do reside mainly in Israel. You use gas, water, electricity, and so on, which means that you are in Israel most of the time. This shows that your claims have a concrete basis and you have evidence to prove it.<\/p>\n Are you leaving Israel to study at a foreign academic institution? Are you entitled to spouse visa or foreign expert visa in certain foreign countries? You will be required to prove that you have enough money in your bank account and will not need the support of the foreign state or its citizens during your stay abroad.<\/p>\n Most of the statements, summaries, and printouts that can be obtained from the banks in Israel are in Hebrew only. It is sometimes possible to get a printout of a statement in English from the bank website, but not physically at your bank with a stamp and signature. In these cases, check which official document will suffice (such as your bank statement over a month or period of several months or your bank account summary), and then translate and notarize it.<\/p>\n The opposite is also true, of course – students who come to Israel (for example) also must prove their “financial capacity” and translate their bank statements, especially if the statement is not in English.<\/p>\n The same procedure holds for Israelis who have moved abroad. Let’s say you have relocated emigrated abroad<\/a>, and you no longer reside mainly in Israel. You will probably not be happy to continue paying taxes to the Israeli authorities, to say the least. In such a case, you can order professional notarial translation<\/a> of your bills proving that you regularly use water, electricity, and various services outside of Israel, which will serve as proof to the authorities in Israel that you no longer live there.<\/p>\n You will need to translate your bank statement, showing that you are active in the foreign country in which you currently live, as well as your water bill, electricity bill, and the local property tax bill equivalent to the Israeli Arnona<\/a>. If you submit these documents properly, the Israeli authorities will be content and you may save a lot of money.<\/p>\n Bill translation may also be relevant for businesses<\/a>. A business that is required to prove that it is physically located and operating in country A and not in country B will do so by presenting bills that indicate this.<\/p>\n Sending your bill to the first translation agency that you come across is not going to help. Yes, translation agencies will be able to translate your bill word for word, and they will usually do so successfully; but this translation has no legal validity or value in law, and it will definitely not be respected by officials in foreign countries when they decide how to register your main place of residence.<\/p>\n If you want to save a few bucks and go for a “regular” translation, the translation may do more harm than good. Cross-country bureaucratic procedures take time – weeks, months, and sometimes even longer. You won\u2019t like it if you send in the translation, wait so long for it to be processed, and then receive a notice saying that the translation is invalid, which will take you right back to the starting point. It is important to be efficient and send all your documents to the authorities in the exact format required.<\/p>\n So why should you prefer notarial translation? The reason is that anyone can send documents to a translation agency, whether or not the documents are authentic. It is very easy to fake or fabricate documents, and your motive would be quite obvious. If you do not validate the document, it will be difficult to convince the authorities of its credibility, especially when those authorities are overseas.<\/p>\n Other countries, such as England, have special “certified translators,” who have been tested at recognized institutions in translating one language to another. Their reputation and license are at stake and, therefore, they are trusted to translate properly and accurately. In Israel, there is no such institution, so only notarial translation is considered to be officially reliable.<\/p>\nTranslation of Electricity Bills, Bank Statements, and Gas bills, to Prove That You Mainly Reside in Israel<\/strong><\/h4>\n
