Misrad Hapnim (Ministry of Interior) sometimes requests to see original documents at the time of your Aliyah processing. In the event that Misrad Hapnim officials request to see original documents, and in order to ensure the fastest and most efficient processing, we recommend bringing the following original documents with you on the flight. Here is an explanation of what you may need:

• Single Oleh: Proof of Judaism, Birth Certificate (please make sure that your parents’ names appear on the Birth Certificate)

Things to Consider

• If you are an Israeli citizen or held temporary resident (A/1) status in the past, and your marital status has changed since you last resided in Israel, please make sure you have apostille certification on all documents pertaining to any status changes since that time.
• We recommend that you bring extra passport photos with you. You never know when you might need them!
