Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.
Before you start
Use authorised evidence rather than reissuing an incorrect record.
Who is this guide for?
People finding mismatched personal status.
Legal-event validity may require a separate procedure.
The checklist
Identify field and discrepancy
Comparison documents.
A name discrepancy is not always a status error.
Separate omission from error
Earlier submission proof.
Do not submit a new change when an error enquiry is needed.
Prepare original evidence
Original certificate.
Translation cannot change legal status.
Contact bureau or mission
Request and explanation.
Mission procedures are not universal bureau rules.
Verify correction
Extract and decision.
Other bodies do not necessarily update automatically.
Official sources

Frequently asked questions
