Cannot find any telephone listed for them. Anyone know? But if you bring green cash dollars to the Consulate EXACT CHANGE they accept that, so yu dont need the hassle [and expense] of the bank check.

I renewed mine by mail. It took a month. The new passport arrives by registered mail. The procedure is download and fill out DS-82 (application for a U.S passport by mail) http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms/ds82/ds82_843.html Get US passport photos. Most of the places that do passport photos can do this, but make sure you tell them *US* passport as the photos for Israeli passports are different. Get a bank check for $75 made out to "U.S. Consulate General, Jerusalem" (check the website to make sure the price hasn't changed - http://jerusalem.usconsulate.gov/10-year-validity). Not the shekel equivalent. Not a personal check from your US bank. Yes, you'll have to go into the bank for this, sorry. Go to the post office with two envelopes, one addressed to you, one to U.S. Consulate General, P.O. Box 290, Jerusalem 91002, both big enough to hold a passport. The one addressed to you gets postage for a registered letter, It goes into envelope to the consulate with your old passport, the form, two photos, and the bank check. Get a stamp on that envelope. sameach – things have changed since you last renewed your passport.

Every 10 years I renew my passport at the Jerusalem Consulate. I never made an appointment. I have never had any problems. I arrive, wait in line, fill out the forms, wait in line, eventually get my turn at the window and that's it. The passports (both the new and the old) arrive registered mail within a reasonable amount of time. Don't understand what the problem is!

I'm a citizen. I went to the East Jerusalem consulate and was whisked in quickly (SS issue), had lovely service, and left again relatively quickly...?? If you're driving from the south (Baka, Arnona etc.), go past Novotel and turn right, drive to the kikar, then go right on Nablus. The consulate is the place where the road narrows and all the people are milling around in a huge line outside. What did I do wrong?
