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

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.
