How we translate it

These rules go to the translation engine when you upload a population registry extract, on top of the general rules for Israeli documents.

Keep the date next to every status change (marriage, divorce, address change).
Translate the Nationality (לאום) and Religion (דת) fields literally, even when empty.
List previous names in chronological order with both scripts.
Keep the extract's issue date and reference number.

Common mistake: Not checking first whether the Authority can issue the extract in English, which some authorities accept directly.
