    When doing so, here are a few things to keep in mind:

    1. The sender is responsible for material mailed to the consulate. We highly recommend obtaining a tracking number.

    2.  We recommend sending requests via registered or express mail services, such as FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc.

    If you have sent a document to the consulate, please contact the carrier or check your UPS, FedEx, or USPS tracking number to confirm that it has arrived instead of contacting the consulate.

    3.  Applications must be fully completed and signed. Be advised, certain services processed via mail require the requestor to sign and/or be identified in front of a notary and certified with an official Apostille seal.

    4.  Make sure the following information about the requestor is attached to every request:
    Full name, Israeli ID and/or passport number, and updated contact information (Telephone and street address within the US) for return mail.
    Be advised that the Consulate does not send mail to P.O Boxes.

    5. Payment may be in the form of a money order or credit card. Please note that the Consulate cannot accept personal checks, cash, or other forms of payment. 
    Money orders or cashier checks should be addressed to the consulate general of Israel to the pacific northwest


    6. Return mail payment: requests sent to be processed via mail are returned to the requestor via FedEx at the expense of the requestor. 

    Southern California residents should contact the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles. Click here for more information on Israel’s other U.S. missions.

    Note: An application that will not be submitted as required will be returned at the applicant’s expense via FedEx. 

    If you are requesting a certificate for use outside of Israel (in a country party to the HCCH MEMBERS), you must have the document stamped with an apostille stamp. An apostille stamp requires payment of an additional fee, which should be included when you submit your application (Click here to view Table of Fees).



    We recommend sending a prepaid return envelope with your mail or pre-paid FedEx label.

    ​Applications without a return envelope or label will be charged for FedEx return mail service fees.

    There is no option for a self-pick-up.
