How to apply

The application must be submitted in person at an Israeli mission in the country where you are staying.

It is advisable first to send the required forms and documents to the mission by email, for a preliminary examination prior to your arrival at the mission.

Please note

  • Original birth certificate, authenticated as required, and translated. Authentication of the certificate must be done in one of the following ways:
  • By an apostille stamp – if the certificate was issued by a government agency or another official body in a country that is a signatory to the Apostille Convention.
  • If the certificate was issued in a non-signatory country, it should be authenticated by a consular representative. For instructions on how to authenticate the certificate, contact an Israeli mission in the country where the certificate was issued.
  • Parents wishing to register a child, who declare that the mother is an Israeli citizen, must provide, in addition to the birth certificate, proof that the mother registered in the birth certificate gave birth to the child.*
  • Parents wishing to register a child, who declare that the father is an Israeli citizen, must provide, in addition to the birth certificate, proof that the mother registered in the birth certificate gave birth to the child,* as well as evidence of a relationship between the purported father and the mother before she became pregnant.

* That is, confirmation of birth from the obstetrics department of the hospital where the child was born.

 

  • In the absence of sufficient evidence, the parents may be required to present an order of a competent court in Israel that establishes paternity or maternity, as relevant.
