Notary in Ra'anana, in Hebrew and English
Attorney Liron Segev is a notary in Ra'anana, providing notarial services in Hebrew and English. She verifies signatures, certifies translations and copies, and prepares notarial wills.
A notarial certificate is usually needed when an official body, in Israel or abroad, must accept a document: a bank, a government office, an embassy or the other side of a deal. The notary confirms, for example, who signed or that a copy matches the original, so the other party can rely on it.
Notary fees are set by the Notaries Regulations. Before the meeting, check with whoever asked for the document exactly which certificate they need.
