Hebrew Translation Services
Certified Hebrew to English translation of Israeli civil records, Ketubot, rabbinical court documents and academic records, by human translators who read right-to-left script and Hebrew calendar dates. $22.99 per page, 24-hour delivery for up to 3 pages.
We translate Hebrew documents into English for USCIS, UKVI, IRCC, universities and courts. Israeli civil records, religious documents and diplomas each have their own conventions, and our Hebrew translators handle the script, the missing vowels and the Hebrew calendar correctly.
- Population Registry extracts, birth and marriage certificates, Teudat Zehut appendices
- Ketubot (often in Aramaic) and rabbinical court divorce documents
- Israel is a Hague Apostille member, so most originals are apostilled before translation
Hebrew Documents We Translate
| Document | Issued by | Often needed for |
|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate and Population Registry extract | Population and Immigration Authority | Green cards, citizenship, passports |
| Teudat Zehut appendix (sefach) | Population and Immigration Authority | Proof of family relationships |
| Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) | The officiating rabbi | Spousal petitions, proof of marriage |
| Marriage certificate | Rabbinate or Population Registry | Immigration and name changes |
| Get and rabbinical court divorce rulings | Rabbinical courts | Proof a prior marriage ended |

Many Israeli documents are bilingual Hebrew and English or Hebrew and Arabic. Every part that is not already in English is translated.
What Makes Hebrew Documents Different
- Hebrew is written right to left, usually without vowel marks. The same letters can spell different names, so we match your passport spelling when you send it, and otherwise use a standard transliteration and tell you which one we chose
- Religious documents use Hebrew calendar dates, such as 5 Tishrei 5785. We give the date as written and add the Gregorian date in brackets
- A Ketubah is usually written in Aramaic, not Hebrew. Our translators handle the standard Aramaic text as well as any Hebrew additions
- Hebrew numerals written with letters, used on some religious and older documents, are converted accurately
Apostilles on Israeli Documents
Israel is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. When the receiving authority asks for an apostille, it goes on the original Israeli document, issued in Israel. Send us the document with its apostille page and we translate both together. USCIS does not usually ask for an apostille on civil documents. See our apostille translation page for when one is needed.

If an Israeli office will receive the document, check whether it requires a translation certified by an Israeli notary before you order.
Hebrew Names in English: Common Spellings
Hebrew letters can be written several ways in English, so the same name often appears with different spellings across documents.
| Hebrew sound | Common English spellings | Example name |
|---|---|---|
| ח (het) | Ch, Kh or H | Chaim, Khaim, Haim |
| צ (tsadi) | Tz, Ts or Z | Tzvi, Tsvi, Zvi |
| י at the start | Y or I | Yitzhak, Itzhak |
| ו (vav) | V, O or U | David, Yosef, Uri |
If your passport, visa or earlier filings use one spelling, send it with your order and we follow it in every document.
