Notarized Signature Authentication
Arguably, the most common form of notarization is the signature authentication. The client meets the Notary in Jerusalem with his/her identification (either a Teduat Zehut or Passport – any passport from any country is fine as long as it is not expired and the name matches the name on the document). The client signs on the document, and the Notary notarizes it. Below are some common examples of signature authentication notarizations:
-
Authentication of signature notarizations for real estate closing in America
-
Irrevocable Power of Attorney Notarizations to the bank for Mortgages
-
Irrevocable Power of Attorney Notarizations to a Building Contractor
-
General Power of Attorney Notarizations
-
Authentication of signature for the purposes of one parent travelling with minor.

What do I need to bring to the Notary in Jerusalem?
The answer to this depends on what type of notarization you are seeking from the Notary in Jerusalem. If it’s a signature authentication, you will need to bring the document, of course, as well as your Identity Booklet (Teudat Zehut) or Passport. A Driver’s Licence is NOT accepted in Israel. If a certified copy, you only need to bring the original document. If a translation, you can simply email us the document to get started on the translation, and when completed, you can then come in with the original document.
