By Israeli law, Israeli citizens must report any change in their marital status/birth of a new child within 30 days.

The Consular Section can authenticate signatures on power of attorney, declaration and affidavit matters. Alternatively one can sign the documents in front of a local Notary Public. In this case, the documents must be stamped with an Apostille stamp.

NOTE: It is one’s responsibility to verify with the Official Authority in Israel that signing the document in front of a local Notary Public (instead of the Consul) is acceptable.
