I am not sure that Israeli Law recognises partners who are not married. And certainly not for residency or work visas.

I suggest you contact your local Israeli Embassy or Consulate to clarify the situation before proceeding further.

Like I said - I'm not certain- check it out!

Best wishes

I believe that you would have to have everything translated into either English or Hebrew, but I'm not certain. I would recommend doing it anyway; better safe than sorry. Check with the embassy to see if there's a requirement of who translates it and if it needs to be certified/notorized/Apostilled. Maybe the embassy can translate it to Hebrew for you...?

Israel does recognize unmarried partners of Israeli citizens for residency and work privileges (called yeduim batzibur; "known in public"), though the requirements are different than people who are married. Have your boyfriend call the Ministry of Interior office in Israel to ask; the embassies usually will say you can't, but I promise you can ('cause I did).

Hi,

You're blog is so helpful - such a nice thing to do. It is serving as my guide to the Ministry here, as they have been quite resistant to help. I just moved here two weeks ago and I feel so unprepared. I had been to the Consulate (Israeli) in NYC, but they made it seem like I wouldn't really have a problem and did not inform me of what I would need. I am not blaming them

I didn't ask the questions the right way or not the right questions.

I was wondering if you could tell me which offices to go to in the Ministry, where to make an appointment and all. When my boyfriend and I have gone, they send us to different offices and then we are sent back and so on. I am afraid I am without most of the paperwork I need for this process. Fortunately, my father is retired Army and has many resources near the home.

Your post is such a nice thing to have done. I feel a little more secure having read it. Thanks so much.

Hi there

I think that only the Interior Ministry can help, but don't know exact department.

Do you KNOW which documents you need?

I think it depends on whether or not you're Jewish and what is the purpose of you being here. Is it to become a citizen, a permanent resident, a temporary resident or a tourist? Work visas depend on status.

Good luck!

Hello Every one,
I have here a situation that I would like to get help,
I move to Israel 8 years ago and got the citizenship, I'm living with my partner for more than a year, we have a common child. Since she got to Israel we start a process to get a common law status by the minister of interior.
They ask us a lot of requirement that we already furnished but we still have one document that we can't furnish.Since my behalf is from Philippine where she was married and since there is no Divorces in Philippine (by the official law)
It was required for us to give a certification of annulment. Our problem is like this, we cannot get this paper because her husband is opposing. We also give to the minister of interior a declaration specify a file have been open to process the annulment, but they claim it's not enough.
Do someone having the same situation, is there anyway to deal with our problem.
I will highly appreciate any help.
Thanks,
