Urgent replacement of the Israeli passport at the consulate
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
An Israeli citizen permanently residing in the territory of another State has the right to extend or replace the Darcon/Lesse passe in any Israeli consulate without the need to return to the State of Israel.
The replacement and extension of a travel document abroad is possible provided that its validity period is less than 6 months!
On the go Visit portal, our assistants will arrange an appointment for you on the nearest convenient dates at a convenient location. You can schedule an appointment at the consulate of Moscow or Almaty, Cyprus or any other country of your choice.
How goVist.today assistants can help:
- Will fill out the necessary forms and declarations.
- Will check the presence or absence of debts for a citizen in the Country.
- Will make an appointment at the consulate to replace and extend the passport.
A new passport is issued at the Israeli consulates on the day of application!
What should pay special attention to?
1. Debt and military age.
If unpaid fines or any other payments are imposed on you in the Country, as well as your status in the IDF is not regulated, the Consul will refuse to issue a new passport.
It will be possible to contact the consulate again to replace expired documents after resolving all issues with debts in Israel. In this regard, we advise you to check for encumbrances on the site. gov.il before making an appointment at the consulate.
goVisit.today assistants will help you access your personal account on the website Gov.il and promptly check for arrears.
2. Marital status.
It is also important to make sure that the Population Administration has up-to-date information about you. If there have been changes in your family during the current Darkon or Teudat Maawar period — children were born, you got married, ended it through divorce, or, unfortunately, your loved one passed away — information about these events must also be provided to the agency.
goVist.today specialists will help you at all stages, from preparing and filling out, to certifying certificates
confirming changes in marital status or the birth of children, and to agreeing on an urgent appointment at the consulate.
What are the consequences of not notifying about a status change?
Failure to inform about changes in marital status can lead to various negative consequences:
- The Teudat Zeut (identity card) may be invalidated, making it difficult to access various government services and legal procedures.
- Administrative fines, as late notification of a status change may be considered a violation of the law.
We recommend that you notify us promptly of any changes in your status in order to avoid possible problems and ensure your legal stay in the country.

Replacing the Israeli passport: reasons, deadlines and important recommendations!
In various life situations, it may be necessary to replace the identity documents of a citizen abroad. The main reasons include:
- Theft or loss: it is important to contact the interior ministry or the Israeli Consulate immediately. This will help prevent the possible use of your data by intruders and speed up the process of obtaining a new Teudat Maawar passport.
- The passport was lost at the manufacturing or delivery stage in Israel: this also happens, and government agencies in the Country sometimes make mistakes.
- Damage due to force majeure: natural disasters such as fire, flood or earthquake may result in the loss or damage of important documents.
- Careless handling: even minor damage — tears, stains, and page wear — can invalidate an international passport and cause difficulties crossing borders.
- Personal data change: a change in last name, first name, patronymic, date or place of birth, gender, or significant changes in appearance oblige you to update your identity card to reflect up-to-date information about you.
- No blank pages: When all the pages are filled with visas, stamps, and other marks, it becomes impossible to add new information. In this case, a new passport must be issued.
The replacement of identity documents is a responsible procedure that requires attention to detail.
It is important to prepare in advance and collect all the necessary documents so that the process is as successful as possible. Untimely updating of Darkon (Teudat Maawar) can lead to undesirable consequences and limit your opportunities for travel or business trips in your daily life.
Additionally, it is worth considering:
- Replacement dates
Some changes need to be made within a certain period of time after they actually occur.
- Replacement documents
You will need a statement in Hebrew, photographs of the established sample, and payment of a state fee.
- Consequences of missing the replacement deadline
The use of invalid (expired) passports can lead to fines as well as other, more serious sanctions.
To ensure the security of your personal data, it is recommended to make copies of the documents. Storing copies (including electronic ones) will help you recover information faster in case of loss.
If you need to replace your international identity card and you are not sure where to start, contact goVisit.oday professionals and we will help you solve the most difficult tasks without unnecessary bureaucracy and in a short time!
