Registration of Australian Citizenship by Descent:
From 1 May 2021 applications for Australian Citizenship by Descent from Israel and the Palestinian Territories in the West Bank and Gaza are processed online from Australia. For inquiries about applications lodged before 1 May 2021 please contact the London Office. For applications lodged on or after 1 May 2021 please contact the processing office in Australia directly by email to [email protected]
You may apply for an Australian passport for your child only after you receive the certificate of Australian citizenship. Please note that appointments are necessary for passport applications. Appointments can be made via the Embassy website.
CERTIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS
Certification of documents in Israel and the Palestinian Territories may be provided by any practicing Lawyer/Notary or a Consular Officer at the Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv. If you wish to have your documents ceretified at the Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv, you must make an appointment.
TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS
All identity documents (ie. birth, adoption, marriage, divorce, death, and discharge from the Army) must have a certified English translation by a Notary (all practicing Notaries in Israel and the Palestinian Territories are acceptable) or an accredited NAATI translator in Australia. You may select your NAATI translator by the language services they provide, including Hebrew and Arabic. Some of them may be operating from offices outside Australia, including Israel (See: NAATI). The Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv does not provide translation services.
