Child allowance for adoptive parents - Additional documents to submit

Adoption in Israel

If a child is received for adoption from the Child Welfare Services of the Ministry of Social Affairs, certification from the Child Welfare Services must be attached to the claim for a child allowance, containing the names of the adoptive parents and their identity numbers, the name of the child, his date of birth and the temporary identity number given to him. Upon receipt of the child's permanent identity number from the Ministry of the Interior, it must be submitted to the National Insurance Institute.

Adoption abroad

If a child is adopted abroad, a claim can be submitted for a child allowance only after the child is registered in the identity cards of the adoptive parents. Details of the bank account in which the child allowance is to be deposited must be recorded in the claim form, and you must attach authorization from the bank or a canceled check confirming that you are the holder of the account in which you wish to receive the allowance.
