The US Embassies in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv will be hosting a special passport application event on May 4th from 3-8pm.
It is notoriously hard for Americans in Israel to renew their passports when an in-person interview is required. This event will allow minors under 16 to renew their passports or those 16 and older to obtain a new passport or renew passports that were issued more than 15 years ago.
Appointments are expected to be released here today between 3-4pm Israel time, which is between 8-9am ET.

Anyone have any success? I have been trying for 15 minutes already but keep getting a message that no appts available for the next 360 days….
Probably keep trying for the next hour.
Good luck!

i found a slot but by the time i entered the info it was snapped up , i dont type slow…. this is silly thanks for the heads up dan
@nothing yet I had the same experience. This is so crazy. Why isn’t there a bigger uproar about this insane situation? I haven’t been able to get a crba/passport for my baby nor renewals for the rest of my family. Is this our amazing American government in 2023?!
Yes
Same. Wonder how many people actually locked in an appt.
i got one after 3 attempts , thanks again chaim , chesed and dan
i was about to give up and plan a road to jordan to visit the embasy there……
Congrats!
Got nothing on May 4, got an appointment in July, that will have to do
Thanks, Dan!
I already have my DS-11 renewal appointment in August and I don’t want to risk cancelling it, but I booked one for someone who happened to pass by and see my screen, so Yiyasher Koach!
PSA: Make sure you confirm your appointment via the email received or they will cancel it. Been there, done that. In addition, you don’t have to fear losing an existing appointment while trying to obtain an earlier time. There is a “reschedule” option in original email received regarding the appointment upon which you can click during the open time slot for appointments and attempt your rescheduling luck.
Not sure if this is helpful for anyone, but I see there are some open appointments in November now
Saw a date in NOvember in Jerusalem
Got a couple AM appointments
Just got appointments for mid november in Tel Aviv (There are currently more available).
I need passport renewals earlier the n that but figured I’ll take the appointments for now because I don’t have anything better.
This is absolutley absurd! who can fix this issue? it doesn’t seem like rocket science, hire some more people expand the hours and let U.S. citizens receive services.
How can this go on?
Is there a goverment office that oversees embassies?
Most of the appts are snapped up by bots who reseel them for thousnands of shekels
A family member of kmine paid 1700 shekel for appt
israel mknstry of interior recently canceled 5000 appts made by bots why can’t USA do the same
I TRIED SIGNING UP FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH NO SUCESS.AT EXACTLY 3.30 APPOINTMENTS APEARED AND I CLICKED ON ONE.BY THE TIME I FINISHED CONFIRMING IT SAID MY SELECTED SLOT WAS ALREADY TAKEN AND NO OTHERS WERE AVAILABLE.SO MUCH FOR A SPECIAL EVENT…………
