Misrad Hapnim Master Thread

[Moshe Green]

Thanks!

Another Question...

The form is asking for מספר חשבון of my Israel bank account.
I have Leumi.

My account number seems to be 905 (which is the branch number--Paran), followed by 5 digits (sometimes w/ a 0 before, sometimes not...) followed by /43.

When I try putting in the 5 digits with the 43 it does not work...
The 5 digits alone seem to work. I just don't want to leave any numbers out.

Is the 43 important? What is it?

To make things simpler.... 905-0#####/43     - Thats the full number...

yeah, the /43 is part of the account # . but leave out the /.

Thanks!

And with the 0 or w/o? 

[Moshe Green]

Thanks!

i think you can leave out the 0 but if you put in the 0 i dont think anything will happen.

Q: How many Misrad Hapnim employees does it take to get an infant's picture taken properly for a biometric ID?
A: Three. (One to hold the baby, which he did NOT like, one to get his attention right next to the camera, and one to click on the computer to capture exactly the right moment. Took about 15 tries.)
I'm trying and failing to picture this scene at a DMV.

A passport is a biometric ID. Though this is a Teudat Maavar. Physically it works the same way except that it is not acceptable as a passport in other countries.

BTW, It's accepted in orher countries as well.
I've used it to enter Moscow (exit the airport)

Interesting. It isn't supposed to be acceptable. Maybe they can't tell the difference?

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains that travel documents in lieu of national passport are intended primarily for entering and leaving Israel. Using them for traveling to other countries is allowed, but visa-free access is not guaranteed. According to the official website of Israeli diplomatic missions, mutual agreements between Israel and other countries regarding visa exemptions do not necessarily apply to holders of this document.[5]

Nevertheless, multiple countries such as France,[8] Serbia[9] and the Czech Republic[10] clearly state that holders of Israeli travel documents in lieu of national passport are entitled to visa-free access under the same conditions as ordinary Israeli passport holders. Conversely, several other countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom explicitly state that Israeli travel document in lieu of national passport holders do require a visa, while ordinary Israeli passport holders do not.[11]

According to the PRADO (Public Register of Authentic Identity and Travel Documents Online) database maintained by the European Council, only one Schengen Area member-state, Malta, does not accept Israeli travel documents in lieu of national passport as a valid proof of identity for crossing their borders, which means holders of these documents will not be able to enter these countries regardless of having or not having a visa.[12]

So basically, what the Misrad Hapnim employee told me is nonsense. What else is new...
