Documents to translate for buying or investing in property abroad
Buying property abroad means proving who you are, your marital status and where the money comes from. Notaries and banks run identity and source-of-funds checks, and in civil-law countries such as Portugal, Spain and Greece the deed records the buyer's marital status. Public documents like the marital status certificate usually also need an apostille.
For Israeli applicants heading to Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, USA and more.
