Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.
Before you start
Identify whether the issue is an unnamed child, a certificate error or unresolved parentage; the route depends on the issue.
Who is this guide for?
Parents seeking to complete their child's registry details.
The naming instructions concern children born in Israel. Birth abroad, adding a parent and legal parentage changes need separate routes.
The checklist
List exact discrepancies
Birth certificate; parents' appendices.
Fund registration does not prove all parentage details are registered.
Use newborn naming for a missing name
Parent authentication; birth details.
Naming does not recognise paternity.
Provide original evidence for errors
Original evidence of the requested detail.
An overseas consular service is not a domestic correction form.
Check attendance and consent
Parents' IDs; required parentage documents.
Orders or disputes are not resolved by a technical update.
Check each resulting document
New documents; authority response.
Do not edit the old certificate.

Frequently asked questions
Can newborn naming fix a parent's name?
Not necessarily. Naming is not a general parentage correction route; ask the Authority which procedure and evidence are needed.
