What Is Notarial Signature Authentication?
Notarial signature authentication is a process in which a licensed notary verifies a person’s signature on a document and certifies, in writing and under an official seal, the genuineness of the signature, the identity of the signatory and the validity of the act. A notarial certification of signature is especially important where legal or evidential proof is needed that a particular signature was made lawfully.
Which documents require notarial certification of signature?
We authenticate signatures on a wide range of documents, including:
- Legal contracts: sale agreements, lease agreements, partnership agreements.
- Affidavits: legal declarations for various purposes, including affidavits for court.
- Notarial powers of attorney: irrevocable powers of attorney for mortgages, in real estate transactions and more.
- Banking documents: documents submitted to banks, including for loans or mortgages.
- International documents: signature certifications are often required to present documents at embassies, consulates or courts abroad.
The Authentication Process under the Notaries Law, 5736-1976
Section 11 of the Notaries Law, 5736-1976 defines the notary’s powers to authenticate signatures. The notary must ensure three main things:
- Identity of the signatory: the signatory must identify himself with valid official identification, such as an ID card, passport or driving licence.
- Presence of the signatory: the signature must be made in the notary’s presence; a signature made earlier cannot be authenticated.
- Free will: the notary verifies that the signature was made voluntarily and without coercion.
The notarial certificate includes a formal statement by the notary, the notary’s seal and the date of authentication.
The Notaries Regulations, 5737-1977: Clear Professional Rules
The Notaries Regulations, 5737-1977 govern how notarial acts are performed, including signature authentication. Under the regulations:
- Record-keeping: every authentication is recorded in the notarial register, including the signatory’s details and a description of the act.
- Precise identification: the notary must verify the signatory’s identity using official documents.
- Impartiality: the notary must act neutrally and without bias.
A notary will not certify a signature unless the signatory has identified himself and confirmed that he signed of his own free will.
Notary Fees
Notary fees in Israel are set by the Notaries Regulations (Fees) and are updated periodically. They are the same for every notary, so there is no difference in price between notaries. We will tell you the applicable fee in advance, with full transparency.
Common Types of Notarial Certificates
1. Certification of signatures on contracts
Many contracts require notarial authentication to strengthen their legal force, for example:
- Apartment sale agreements.
- Long-term lease agreements.

2. Certification of signatures on powers of attorney
A notarial power of attorney authorizes an attorney-in-fact to act on the grantor’s behalf in legal, financial or personal matters. Common examples:

- Irrevocable power of attorney in real estate transactions and urban renewal (pinui-binui) projects.
