Apostille for Israel
Going to Israel for construction, caregiving, IT or research work, joining family, studying, or registering a marriage with the Population and Immigration Authority? Israel has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since 14 August 1978, so Indian public documents need the MEA apostille – not legalisation by the Embassy of Israel. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Israel in Delhi – police clearance certificates included – and arranges Hebrew translation where an Israeli office asks for it.

apostille
An apostille for Israel is the MEA apostille on an Indian public document after verification by the competent Indian authority – a Passport Seva PCC goes to the MEA directly; birth and marriage certificates are verified by the home department or SDM; degrees by the state education department. Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority, employers and universities accept it without legalisation by the Embassy of Israel.
Israel embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Israel is
India and Israel are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so the Embassy of Israel in New Delhi does not legalise Indian public documents. When an Israeli employer, manpower agency or government office asks for an authenticated Indian document, it means the MEA apostille.
For work visas, the document most often requested is the police clearance. A Passport Seva PCC can be apostilled by the MEA directly; a state-police certificate needs home department attestation first. Check which one your recruiter’s checklist names before you apply.

Translation and the apostille for Israel
Many Israeli offices accept documents in English, which covers most Indian certificates. When an office asks for Hebrew – common for civil-status matters – the translation is usually certified by an Israeli notary and made after the apostille, including the sticker. Indian-language documents need translation into English or Hebrew.
We prepare Hebrew and English translations from the apostilled original. See our Hebrew translation services.
SampleApostille for Israel sample – what Israeli offices check
On a police clearance the MEA sticker goes directly on the PCC; on an affidavit, as in this sample, it sits below the notary and SDM stamps. Either way, an Israeli officer reading the apostille for Israel checks the issuing country, the certified officer and seal, the date and the number, and can confirm it via the QR code. Personal details are hidden.
