Beginning Monday, August 6, the U.S. Consulate General
in Jerusalem
will
implement an appointment system for American Citizen
Services. This
will
ensure that an officer is always available to assist
our clients and
that clients receive services as promptly as possible.
Starting Monday,
clients applying for Consular Reports of Birth Abroad
(CRBAs),
passports
and notaries will be required to book on appointment
on our website
before coming to the consulate for services. Those
without appointments
will not be admitted, except on an emergency
case-by-case basis
supported by documentation. Clients who need visa
pages, reports of
death and other special citizen services may still
come to the
consulate
between the hours of 8am and 11:30am on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday for service and do not require an appointment.
Below is an information sheet about the new service.
We ask that you
please help pass the word to the American Citizen
community. More
information is also available on our website. Just
visit
jerusalem.usconsulate.gov/ and click on U.S.
Citizen Services
at
the top. It will link you to a news page. On the left
is a link to
appointments.
Thank you for your always helpful assistance. Please
let us know if you
have any questions.
Best Regards,
American Citizen Services.
FACT SHEET
NEW APPOINTMENT SYSTEM FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS
AT CONSULATE GENERAL JERUSALEM
July 31, 2007
Background: The U.S. Consulate General serves American
citizens living
in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza. This
population has been
estimated at 85,000. This large number of customers
means there is a
great demand for American citizen services from the
U.S. Consulate
General in Jerusalem. Recently, this has meant long
lines and long
waits for Americans.
To better and more efficiently serve Americans in
these areas, the
Consulate has created a new on-line appointment system
that will
decrease wait times for clients and allow services for
more clients in
the course of a year. Beginning August 6, all
individuals seeking a
passport, consular report of birth abroad or notary
services will be
required to have an appointment in advance.
Appointments will be free
of charge.
* To schedule an appointment, customers will need to
go online at:
evisaforms.state.gov/acs/default.asp?postcode=JRS&...
This
site can also be accessed by visiting the Consulate
General website at
jerusalem.usconsulate.gov/ and clicking "U.S.
Citizen Services."
* The appointment system will go live on Wednesday,
August 1.
Starting Monday, August 6 appointments will be
required for passport,
consular report of birth abroad or notary services.
* Clients must present their appointment receipt at
the entrance
to the Consulate building on Nablus Road before being
admitted.
* Appointment slots are available in 15 minute
increments. A
separate appointment will be required for each service
needed, i.e. one
appointment for a passport renewal, a second for a
consular report of
birth abroad.
* Appointments can only be made for services to be
performed at
the Consulate building on Nablus Road.
* Clients needing extra visa pages, to apply for
social security
or report a death will not require an appointment.
These services will
still be performed from 8 to 11:30 a.m., Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of each week.
Best Regards,
Jennifer Melzer
