Signing Your Israeli POA Abroad: Country Guides

How to sign a power of attorney where you live so that it's recognised in Israel.

The two ways to sign abroad – in a nutshell

Israeli consul: sign at an Israeli embassy or consulate. The consul authenticates your signature and no apostille is needed.

Local notary + apostille: sign before a notary in your country, then get an apostille from the competent authority. Israel recognises apostilles from other member countries of the Hague Convention.

Not a member country? A longer legalisation chain is usually needed, ending with the Israeli consulate. We'll guide you through it.

Please note: this page gives general information about Israeli powers of attorney. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Requirements can change and can differ between institutions, so we always confirm the details for your specific case.
