How to Handle Birth Registration in Israel
For Turkish citizens giving birth in Israel, one of the most important matters is to officially register the birth and ensure the child is also registered in Turkey. This process must comply with both Israeli and Turkish laws. Professional legal support is crucial to ensure the process runs smoothly. Cosmos Legal Law Office provides families with guidance and legal assistance at every stage of birth registration in Israel.
1. Hospital and Local Registration Procedures
After the birth, a birth report must be obtained from the hospital where the child was born.
-
Using this report, the relevant Israeli population authority issues an official birth certificate.
2. Apostille and Translation Procedures
For birth certificates issued in Israel to be valid in Turkey:
-
The document must be certified by the relevant authorities (apostille or consular authentication).
-
It must then be translated into Turkish by a sworn translator.
Without these steps, the birth certificate cannot be officially used in Turkey.
3. Consulate Registration
To register the child born in Israel with Turkish authorities, the parents must contact the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv or the relevant consulate. Required documents for consular registration typically include:
-
Israeli birth certificate (certified and translated)
-
Copies of the parents’ passports and IDs
-
Marriage certificate (if available)
-
Hospital birth report
Once the consulate receives the documents, it reports the birth to the relevant Turkish population registry, and the child’s registration is completed.
4. Citizenship and Passport Application
A child born to a Turkish parent automatically acquires Turkish citizenship.
-
Once the registration is complete, applications for a national ID card and passport can be submitted.
