Israel is not a party to the Strasbourg Agreement on the Transfer of Corpses (1973), so the national rules of Israel apply, together with the requirements of the consulate of the Republic of Moldova. As a rule, the mortuary passport is then issued by an embassy or consulate of the Republic of Moldova.
We confirm the Israeli procedure for taking a body abroad, and the current work of the Moldovan consulate, at the start of each case. We tell you honestly what is known and what we are still checking.
Required documents
Usually needed: the Israeli death record, the passport of the deceased, the documents of the applicant and the certificates of the funeral service. We confirm the full list for your case.
