Documents to translate for relocating abroad with children
Moving abroad with children means proving who they are and who has custody. Birth certificates and the ID card appendix (sefach) prove parentage, and a custody or support order shows you may take the children abroad. Court orders usually need a certified translation and an apostille; school records are usually fine with a plain translation.
