Important notice regarding lost/stolen passports

Most countries notify daily the Interpol HQ in Lyon, France, regarding lost or stolen passports inside their territories. The information goes automatically to the database available for every border control unit around the world.

Whenever an Israeli citizen reports a lost/stolen passport to the Israeli police or to the local police inside the country he/she visits and the document is later on returned to him/her or found, he/she must know that the Interpol has already been notified, therefore it will be listed in the international database of such lost/stolen passports.

Hence, this passport is considered void and can no longer be used in the future. Furthermore, its use can lead to intensive questioning or intrusive inquiries by the border police.

In these cases, the citizen bears sole responsibility of issuing a new travel document at the local or closest Israeli Embassy or Consulate.

j. Verification of public documents

There are two possibilities for verifying a public document:

1. Verification by means of apostille

In 1978, Israel signed and ratified the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents - 1961 (hereinafter: the Hague Convention). The purpose of this Convention was to shorten the processes required for a particular country to recognize the official documents issued by another country, by means of apostille certification.

Public documents and certificates that were issued in one of the countries that are signatories to the above Convention, and which bear the apostille stamp, are valid for presentation in Israel, without the need for additional verification / certification by the diplomatic / consular representative at the Israeli mission.

Additionally, for countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention, no additional verification is required by the mission consul of the country for which the document is designated, if it was stamped with an apostille in Israel.

With regard to a list of the countries that signed the Convention, and details about the authority competent to grant apostille certification in each country, as well as additional information, click on the following link: http://www.hcch.net/index_en.php?act=conventions.authorities&cid=17

The Apostille

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Directorate for Consular Affairs

States parties to the Convention freely designate the relevant authority, competent to issue the Appostille. The Convention stipulates which public documents are subject to Appostille and which are not.

It is not being applied to the documents issued by diplomatic-consular representatives and the documents immediately referring to a trade or customs transaction.

In Serbia, the competent authority for issuing the Appostille is the First Degree Court, for public documents drafted, issued or certified by the organs with the seat in this Court’s area.

2. Verification by means other than apostille

Verification of a document in a country that is not a signatory to the Hague Convention should be implemented as follows:

After the document is verified by the competent authority in the foreign country (usually the Foreign Ministry or Ministry of Justice), the Israeli consular representative verifies the signature of the competent authority.
