Documents & Apostille Consultation
The Paperwork, Decoded — Exactly What You Need, Where to Get It, and How to Apostille It
More aliyah files are delayed by documents than by anything else. A birth certificate issued in the wrong format. A marriage certificate without an apostille. A police background check that expired while you waited for something else. A name spelled three different ways across three different documents.
The Documents & Apostille Consultation eliminates all of it in advance. In one focused session, we build your family's exact aliyah document checklist — personalised per person, mapped to the issuing authorities in your country, sequenced so nothing expires before your file is submitted.
What your aliyah documents consultation covers:
The complete document list for your specific case: long-form birth certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, ketubah, proof of Judaism (rabbinic letters, community records), police background checks / FBI clearance / ACRO certificates / RCMP checks, passports, passport photos, and any case-specific extras
Where to order each document — state, county, provincial, and national registries in the US, UK, Canada, and beyond, with realistic processing times
Apostille requirements for aliyah — what an apostille actually is, which documents need one, and the exact apostille process for your country: US Secretary of State apostilles, the UK FCDO Legalisation Office, Canadian authentication and the apostille convention
Validity windows — which documents "age out" (police checks, some civil documents) and how to sequence orders so everything is valid on submission day
Name discrepancy strategy — affidavits, amendments, and how to reconcile mismatched names before they trigger questions
Translation requirements — what must be translated for Israeli authorities, and where notarised translation (available in-house through Easy Aliyah's licensed Israeli advocate) is required
Original vs copy rules — what the Jewish Agency, Nefesh B'Nefesh, and Misrad Hapnim each expect to see, and what to carry in your hand luggage on aliyah day
You leave with a personalised, per-family-member document checklist, a sourcing map with links and realistic timelines, an apostille walkthrough for your country, and a written summary — so document collection becomes a checklist, not a mystery.
Includes: Founder-led 1-on-1 session · personalised aliyah documents checklist per family member · country-specific sourcing guidance · full apostille walkthrough · validity and sequencing plan · translation guidance · written summary · one week of WhatsApp follow-up.
Who this is for: Anyone preparing an aliyah file — and essential for families with documents from multiple countries, previous marriages, conversions, or name changes. Done-for-you apostille handling is available as an add-on service.
FAQ
Which documents need an apostille for aliyah? Typically civil documents issued outside Israel that Israeli authorities will rely on: birth certificates, marriage/divorce certificates, and police checks. Requirements vary by document and use — we map yours precisely. How long are police checks valid for aliyah? Generally treated as valid for a limited number of months from issue, which is why sequencing matters: order them at the right point in your timeline, not first. Do aliyah documents need to be translated into Hebrew? Some do, particularly for post-arrival processes at Misrad Hapnim and other ministries. We identify exactly which, and Easy Aliyah provides notarised translations in-house where needed. Can you handle the apostilles for me? Yes — done-for-you apostille coordination through our vetted third-party channels in the US and UK is available as a separate service or package add-on.
