One who brings a get from overseas must state: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence.” Rabban Gamliel says: Also one who brings [it] from Rekem or from Cheger. R' Eliezer says: Even from Kefar Ludim to Lud. The Sages, however, say: One is not required to state: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence,' unless he is bringing it from overseas or taking it [overseas].  One who brings [a get] from province to province overseas must say: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence.” Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Even from rulership to rulership.

R' Yehudah says: From Rekem eastward [is considered outside Eretz Yisrael], and Rekem is like the East; from Ashkelon southward, and Ashkelon is like the South; form Acco northward, and Acco is like the North. R' Meir says: Acco is like Eretz Yisrael regarding gittin.

One who brings a get within Eretz Yisrael is not required to say: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence.” If there are protesters against it, it should be validated through its signatures.  One who brings a get from overseas and is unable to say: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence” —- if there are witnesses on it, it should be validated through its signatures.

Both gittin and [documents of] emancipation of slaves correspond in regard to being taken [from Eretz Yisrael] and being brought [there]. This is one of the ways in which gittin correspond to [documents of] emancipation of slaves.
