Status regularization procedures in Israel with the Ministry of Interior, Aliyah to Israel under the Law of Return, work visas, student visas, volunteer visas, or any other visa, as well as acquiring Israeli citizenship<\/a> for family members of Israeli citizens or requests for legal status in Israel for foreign spouses of Israelis, all require the submission of official documents from their countries of origin. But what happens with documents submitted by foreign spouses from non-apostille countries?<\/p>\n

Documents issued abroad and presented to the Ministry of Interior or any other Israeli authority require, a notarized translation<\/a> into Hebrew or English. But in addition to the translation, you must also provide verification of the original document. Most countries worldwide facilitate a quick authentication process known as Apostille, according to the international Hague convention.<\/p>\n

However, several countries do not allow this authentication process. What should couples do in such cases? Attorney Joshua Pex, an expert in immigration law from our office, explains how to handle document authentication for foreign spouses from Non-Apostille countries<\/p>\n
