Hebrew to English
Hebrew to English translation
For families, students and visitors who need an Israeli document in English: an identity card appendix, a certificate, a court paper or a diploma. Translated in full, delivered by email, with NAATI certification as an option.
What a Hebrew document needs
Three things a Hebrew document brings with it
Hebrew runs right to left, keeps its own calendar alongside the Western one, and some documents that look Hebrew are not.
The identity card appendix
An Israeli identity card comes with an appendix, the sefach, that records address, spouse and children. A visa office asking about your family may want it, so send it with the card; every entry on it is translated.
Two calendars on one page
Many Israeli documents give a Hebrew-calendar date beside the Western one. The translation keeps both, the Western date written with the month in letters and the Hebrew date alongside it, so nothing on the page is lost.
A ketubah is not in Hebrew
A traditional ketubah, the Jewish marriage contract, is written in Aramaic, not Hebrew, though it looks alike. Tell us it is a ketubah when you order, or ask us first, and we will confirm whether we can translate it before you pay.
Driving here on an Israeli licence
What to carry with an Israeli licence
What New South Wales says
“If your licence is not written in English, you must also carry an English translation, or an International Driving Permit.” Where part of a card is already in English, the reader still needs its categories and conditions in English too.

At the Budget desk
A licence not in English “must be accompanied by an approved translation such as an International Driving Permit”. Whatever you carry, it goes with the card itself: “An International Driving Permit is not a stand-alone document”.

Where the English on a card stops: documents already in English explains how a desk reads a part-English licence.
What a careful job includes
Every line, right to left
Civil records
Birth, marriage and death certificates and population registry extracts, with the issuing office, every date in both calendars, and each stamp and signature.
Religious and court records
Rabbinical court and civil court decisions, divorce documents and name-change records, translated in full with the court, the file number and the date.
Names and studies
Hebrew names can be romanised several ways, Cohen or Kohen; we follow your passport. Diplomas and transcripts are translated table for table, and anything unreadable is marked [illegible].
Choose the NAATI certification option for a translation prepared by a NAATI-certified translator, carrying their certification statement, NAATI stamp and credential number. See the birth certificate and marriage certificate pages for those documents.
