The Israeli Population and Immigration Authority is launching a significant public service initiative: 82 new self-service kiosks have been installed in 26 Population Administration offices nationwide, allowing for the issuance of a biometric passport or ID card within minutes, without the need to meet with a representative.
Convenient, Fast, and Efficient Service at Your Convenience
The new kiosks offer the public an advanced service experience, enabling the submission of applications for a passport or ID card independently, without long waits or dependency on reception hours. The service operates by scheduling an appointment in advance, with a separate queue system exclusively for these kiosks, providing high availability and flexible hours.
How Does It Work?
When scheduling an appointment through the Population Authority’s website, the system automatically checks your eligibility for the kiosk service. Those found eligible can choose between a self-service kiosk appointment or a regular appointment with a service representative.
Thousands of New Appointments Every Week
According to the Director-General of the Population Authority, Haim Yifrah:
“The launch of the kiosks is a revolutionary step in improving citizen services. It is a fast, independent, and user-friendly process that can save valuable time for the public. The kiosks will allow for up to 2,500 additional appointments per day and are part of a broader initiative to make digital services more accessible.”
The Head of the Population Administration, Yoel Lipovitzky, also notes that within just a few weeks, over 25,000 citizens will receive services at the kiosks:
“The feedback is excellent. People report a simple, quick, and very convenient process. This is real news.”
