Misrad HaPnim – Interior Ministry Hours
If you are fortunate enough to be able to go to the Misrad Hapnim in Jerusalem, sometimes referred to as the Misrad HaPanim, ‘the face office’ to get your passport renewed or other fun activities, here’s a timetable of when they’re open:
- Sunday to Thursday: 8-12:3o*
- Monday and Wednesday: 2:30-5:30* – Recommended as the workers are less cranky.
Feel free to express your frustrations or any new changes to the schedule. Located on Shlomzion Hamalka in Jerusalem off of Yaffo St. As far as a phone number goes, don’t bother. I asked them once, and they laughed at me.
See comments below for info on the less crowded Gilo Branch. Thanks, Yael.
*These times are subject to change for the following reasons, so good luck.
- cigarette breaks
- early lunch breaks
- because they feel like it
- phone calls to friends or family
- sodoku
The Gilo branch of Misrad Hapnim is a well kept secret. The lines there are practically non-existent.
Their phone number is : 02-645-2880, and their hours are 8-12 Sunday-Thursday and Monday and Wednesday 2:30pm-5:30pm. (Check to make sure these hours are right before you go there)

| Posted 13 years, 1 month agoThe service of the Misrad Hapnim in Jerusalem is really a shame. Since days I am now trying to get an appointment. Never ever someone picks up the phone, except the answer machine. Getting an appointment via email seems to be impossible, at least I do not know an email address which would allow for that. Does anyone know?

Hi Avraham, I suggest going to the Misrad Hapnim and they’ll tell you what the procedure is.
| Posted 11 years, 8 months agoI was once in the Misrad Hapnim in the office where they answer the phones. What do you think she was doing? answering phones? No way!! The phone was off the hook, and she was doing something at the computer!! I saw this with my own eyes!
| Posted 11 years, 7 months agoYirmy, The phone was off the hook??!!! Woah mam. I want to be surprised here….
| Posted 11 years, 7 months agoYeh, Yeh. Do you think they’re getting thousands of calls, that they’re always busy with previuos callers?…

| Posted 11 years, 1 month agoI need a return visa to Israel to be stamped in my childrens passports they have an isreali id3 does anyone know what the process is
| Posted 10 years, 11 months agoDoes anyone know the adress of the Mizrat ha panim in Tel Aviv???
| Posted 10 years, 11 months agoTo samera 18 if you are out of Israel go to the nearest consulate, if in Israel go to Misrad Hapnim and get the necesary documents. If Everything is in “ORDER”(legal resident) that means your status, they might give the Children a TEudat Maavar which is a temporary document for travel or even the passport which costs arround 250 Shekels.Or they will explain better. Go in afternoon hours is better
For the Person 7 Avaraham Chapira (funny way to write I am also Szapiro and spell different) Go to the Misrad Hapnim fill in a paper with all the personal information: Need a Photo and 100 shekels if it is 1st time loss forsecond loss is like 500. Good luck to both

I have got another nice story for you:
| Posted 9 years, 7 months agoDid you know that the Misrad Hapnim will not issue me a new birth certificate? All due to the fact that 35 years ago my mother married a catholic man, has divorced him and has returned to the jewish religion again?! To them my mother isn`t jewish and so I am not and so my birth certificate is not valid! So now I haven`t been born anywhere by the looks of it. Oh yes… and my son – who will be born in January- can never be registered as I need these documents for registration…
but keep in mind everyone that they only allow people from Gilo to use the misrad hapnim in Gilo. Don’t go threw the trouble of driving to Gilo if you are not a resident of Gilo.
| Posted 9 years, 7 months agoThank you for mentioning this about Gilo only being available for it’s residents. I almost got happy! Now I will return to Jerusalem and try to get an appt.
| Posted 9 years, 4 months agoThe nastiness of the staff at the central branch is something else — but note, you are not told you need photos and money before you go there.If you’ve lost your teudat zehut you will need somehow to turn up with its number(as if its not on their computers!!)
| Posted 9 years, 1 month agoThe afternoon hours in Haifa are bogus if you what to see the information person, because that person is not there. It is only for people who have appointments,they don’t even bother to put that on the hours posted. It is totally unbelievable.
| Posted 9 years, 1 month agoDOes aynone have the adress and fax number of Misrad Hapnim Jerusalem
| Posted 8 years, 3 months agothanks
