US Embassy Services
US Passport
First child passport, adult renewal, or emergency passport. Know exactly what's required
Every US citizen needs a valid US passport to enter the US. We guide you through every request type with the US Embassy in Israel: which route applies to you, how to prepare the file, and how to get ready for the appointment. The passport itself is issued by the embassy.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a passport take?
Depends on the request type and embassy load. A regular renewal usually takes 2-4 weeks from the appointment. An emergency passport is typically issued within one day.
My child was born in Israel - can we get a passport directly?
A child born in Israel to a US parent first needs a US birth certificate (CRBA). We handle that too - see the Citizenship for Child page.
What do I need to bring to the appointment?
We prepare an exact document checklist tailored to your request type and brief you on what to say. You don't go in alone or guessing.
