Israel: Procedures for adding a child to a parent's Israeli passport; circumstances under which an infant would be issued its own Israeli passport
In a correspondence to the Research Directorate on 12 March 2004, a spokesperson for the Consulate General of Israel in Toronto provided the following information:
... An Israeli child cannot be added to a parent's passport [and therefore the child] would require a passport of his own. The requirements to issue a child an Israeli passport are ... :
A complete and signed application. This form needs to be signed by both parents at the consulate or in the presence of a notary public.
– ... both parents' passports.
– The child's birth certificate.
– Two recent passport photos. Please note: frontal shots with a light background.
– $26.00 certified cheque, cash or money order. If the passport should be returned by registered mail a further fee of $8.00 is required.
An official from the Consular Section of the Israeli Embassy in Ottawa corroborated this information and added the following details in correspondence dated 12 March 2004. In case of an emergency abroad, the Israeli Embassy is able to issue a "one-time travel document" for a child who does not have a passport. With regard to passports for infants, children under three years of age are not required to have a picture in their passport. However, in order to renew the passport, parents will have to provide the Embassy with an updated picture of the child, which will be added to the said passport.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find below the list of additional sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
