There are two possibilities for verifying a public document:

        

1.  Verification by means of apostille

 

In 1978, Israel signed and ratified the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents - 1961 (hereinafter: the Hague Convention). The purpose of this Convention was to shorten the processes required for a particular country to recognize the official documents issued by another country, by means of apostille certification.

 

Public documents and certificates that were issued in one of the countries that are signatories to the above Convention, and which bear the apostille stamp, are valid for presentation in Israel, without the need for additional verification / certification by the diplomatic / consular representative at the Israeli mission.

 

Additionally, for countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention, no additional verification is required by the mission consul of the country for which the document is designated, if it was stamped with an apostille in Israel.

 

With regard to a list of the countries that signed the Convention, and details about the authority competent to grant apostille certification in each country, as well as additional information, click on the following link:

 

 

2.   Verification by means other than apostille

 

Verification of a document in a country that is not a signatory to the Hague Convention should be implemented as follows:

 

The Philippines is not a signatory to the 1961 Apostille Convention in Hague, hence document verification (authentication)  is done in the following procedures:

 

1.   If it is a record of birth, marriage, non-marriage or singleness or death, a Certified Copy should be taken from the files of the National Statistics Office (NSO) which is located at East Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City. A copy will be issued in a form which usually printed in a yellow paper.  Should the copy from NSO be unreadable, a copy from the local registrar where the document was first registered must be attached.

 

If it is a Court Record/Decision or a Notarial Declaration, a certified copy must be taken from the Court that issued such record or decision. Then, the signature of the Judge or Notary  must be certified by either the Executive Judge of the place where the notary was made  or  by the Office of  the Court Administrator of the Supreme Court of the Philippines located at Padre Faura Street, Malate, Manila.

 

If it is a Police Certificate for Non-Criminal Record, a certificate/clearance must be obtained from the local branch of the Philippine National Police where the person resides.

 

If it is a clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) , a copy of the clearance must be obtained from the NBI Office located at UN Avenue (cor. Taft Avenue);

 

2.    The document/s must be submitted to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for authentication. The DFA's  Authentication Division is located at

 

           OFFICE OF CONSULAR AFFAIRS

           Department of Foreign Affairs

           Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City

 

3.    The documents authenticated by the DFA must then be submitted to the Consular Section of the Embassy of Israel.
