This article, <\/span>Foreign Divorce in Israel<\/span><\/i>, discusses obtaining recognition in Israel of a divorce conducted abroad. While obtaining a divorce judgment abroad ends a marriage, it is imperative to have this recognized and registered in Israel in order to allow a person to remarry in Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A foreign divorce judgment must be registered in Israel within five years from the date it is issued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obtaining Recognition of a Foreign Divorce in Israel<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"Foreign<\/p>\n

Israel only recognizes foreign divorces if the country where it was issued mutually recognizes Israel\u2019s judgments. An Israeli court — either a family court for non-Jews or mixed-marriage couples or a rabbinical court for Jews — must recognize and validate the divorce judgment in order for official recognition to take place. The judgement requires a notarized translation into Hebrew<\/a> (unless the original document was in English, in which case it will sometimes be accepted without a translation).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are not sure if Israel and the country in which the divorce was issued have mutual agreements, please contact us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Registering the Divorce<\/b><\/h4>\n

There is a separate process to register a foreign divorce. This must occur at the <\/span>Israeli Ministry of Interior<\/span><\/a>. This will allow an individual to change their personal status to \u2018divorced,\u2019 proof that is required for various administrative purposes in other contexts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to note that a foreign divorce must be both recognized in an Israeli court and registered at the Ministry of Interior for a person to be considered legally divorced in the country and eligible to remarry.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
