Notary Fees
Notarial fees are set by the Notaries (Fees) Regulations, so the amount is the same with every notary in Israel and there is no room for bargaining. The rates are updated at the beginning of January each year, in line with the Consumer Price Index. A breakdown of every item and a fee calculator are available in the notary price list on notaryon.biz.

What to know before you come
- The fee is fixed by law: a notary may not charge more than the fee fixed in the Regulations, nor less.
- Certification of a translation is charged by word count: it is therefore worth sending the document in advance to receive an accurate cost estimate before you come.
- Service outside office hours: service between 19:00 and 08:00 the following morning, and on days of rest, carries a 50% surcharge.
- Service outside the office: a visit to a home, a hospital or any other place is charged in addition under item 9, plus travel expenses.
- Apostille: an apostille on a notarial document is issued by the court and is not part of the notary fee. Check with the body for which the document is intended whether an apostille is required.
