Despite what is stated in this section, the consulate in Los Angeles reserves the right to require an individual to personally appear at the consulate if the identification is insufficient or for any other reason that may arise after reviewing the application (for example, if the previous passport was issued many years ago, or if the person applying for the passport was a minor when their current passport was issued).​​



Disclaimer: The Consulate General of Israel accepts documents and passports submitted by mail as a convenience for applicants. While we make every effort to process these submissions with care and efficiency, please note that we are not responsible for the safe delivery, loss, or damage of documents or passports sent by mail​
