Lost or forgotten passport

Hello, If your passport had been stolen or lost you must inform the Ministry of Interior or an Israeli consulate or agency near you, in writing, within a reasonable period of time. According to article 2A of the Israeli "passport law" an Israeli citizen must present a passport control officer with a valid Israeli passport or other valid Israeli travel certificate ,upon departure and arrival to Israel. If you are an Israeli citizen holding a foreign passport you may enter and leave Israel using your foreign passport only if: a. You are an "Oleh hadash" (just made "Aliya") living in Israel for less than 3 months. b. You are permanently residing in a foreign country (however you will be requested to use your Israeli passport on your next visit). c. You live permanently in Israel but granted a special authorization to use a foreign passport by the Minister of Interior or by an official on his behalf. This authorization will be considered only if the matter concerns urgent medical attention abroad, a relative's funeral etc. For further information please contact The ministry of interior , telephone number 1-222-3450 or 3450* Sincerely, Rinat
