On average, Israeli citizen documents are prepared within 1-1.5 months from the date of registration.
At Ben-Gurion Airport, immediately upon arrival, each new repatriate and members of his family receive temporary certificates which must be replaced with permanent ones with a validity period of 10 (ten) years.
The Population and Immigration Authority has the right to refuse to grant citizenship to new repatriates and to request any additional documents confirming the right to repatriation, despite the previous decision of the consul.
The consul makes a recommendation but the officer of the Population Administration of the Population and Immigration Authority makes the final decision on the issuance of Israeli citizenship!
