Hebrew to English & English to Hebrew Translation
We provide professional Hebrew translation in both directions for official, immigration, academic, legal, personal and business purposes.
Hebrew to English Translation
Hebrew documents can be translated into English for immigration, university admission, employment, professional registration, legal matters and personal use.
Common requests include civil records, marriage and divorce documents, police records, academic qualifications and legal documentation.
English to Hebrew Translation
English documents can be translated into Hebrew for administrative, academic, legal, technical, corporate and professional purposes.
The intended audience and receiving institution should be identified where these affect terminology, register or formatting.

Certified Hebrew Translation
Hebrew certificates and other official documents may require certified or sworn translation depending on the receiving authority and jurisdiction.
Tell us where the Hebrew translation will be submitted
Certification requirements depend on the document type, receiving authority and country in which the translation will be used.
Requirements in South Africa may differ from those applied by an Israeli authority, embassy, university, court or another institution overseas.
Translation, apostille, authentication and legalisation are separate processes. A translated document does not automatically become apostilled or legalised.
Where possible, send us the receiving authority's instructions together with the complete document.
Already Have the Hebrew Document?
Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the document and provide a quotation.
Right-to-Left Hebrew Script, Names & Transliteration
Hebrew is written from right to left. Official documents can also contain English text, numbers, signatures, stamps and personal names in both Hebrew and Roman letters.
Hebrew Names in English
Hebrew personal and place names can sometimes have more than one reasonable Roman-letter spelling.
For official work, an established spelling shown in a passport, identity document or other recognised record should be followed where available.
Do Not Invent Transliteration
Where an official English spelling already exists, consistency is usually more important than creating a different transliteration from the Hebrew characters.
Providing the relevant passport or existing English-language record can therefore help avoid discrepancies.
Hebrew & Multilingual Israeli Documents
Documents issued in Israel may contain Hebrew together with English, Arabic or other information. The actual language content should therefore be checked rather than assuming that every document is Hebrew-only.
Official & Bilingual Records
Some civil, academic, corporate and administrative documents may already include selected wording or names in English alongside Hebrew.
Existing official English wording should be considered when preparing the translation.
Confirm All Languages Present
If a document contains Hebrew together with Arabic, English or another language, send the complete document so that the language requirements can be assessed correctly.
This is particularly important for stamps, annotations and supporting pages.
