First Passport

A child born to an Israeli citizen (including children born outside of Israel as first generation children of parents holding Israeli citizenship) is considered an Israeli citizen. The child must be registered as a citizen, must possess an Israeli passport when traveling to Israel, and must arrange his/her army status once sixteen and a half years old.

Note: Only a parent who is an Israeli citizen can sign the request forms for the passport.


The following must be provided:

1. Original Birth Certificate authenticated by an Apostille
2. Notification of Birth Form
   Note: A notification of birth must be made by a parent who is an Israeli citizen. On the basis of this notification an Israeli ID number will be issued to the child.
3. Passport Request Form
4. $17.00 cash or money order if the child is under 18 and $50.00 cash or money order for a person requesting a first passport who is over 18.
5. Both parents' passports (at least one of the passports must be an Israeli passport).
6. 2 passport photographs [2" x 2"]

 

Note: If the child is under 18 then both parents must sign in front of the Consul or in front of a Notary. A passport will not be issued without the approval of both parents.

The first passport for a child born in Israel can be issued only by the Ministry of Interior in Israel and NOT by the Consulate.
