How we translate it

These rules go to the translation engine when you upload an ID card appendix, on top of the general rules for Israeli documents.

Keep every child row in the original order with each ID number.
Use fixed terms for marital status (Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed).
Transliterate the address; do not translate street names.
Keep the print date: authorities judge how recent the appendix is by it.

Common mistake: Translating an old appendix that no longer matches the family situation; authorities want a recent printout.
