He is available to process routine passport renewals and consular reports of birth abroad. His office also provides assistance with regard to notarials, absentee voting and registration for the Selective Service.
A native New Yorker, Friedland has served as the Haifa Consular Agent for more than 25 years and enjoys the opportunity to help Americans in need.
“The best part of my job is walking into a room full of people and knowing that I can solve each and every problem,” Friedland says.
Before moving to Haifa, Friedland lived in Jerusalem and New York where he practiced admiralty law. While he’ll always be a New Yorker, Haifa has earned a place in his heart.
“Haifa is the number one city in Israel for nature activities and yet has the advantages of a big city,” he says. “It’s a great place to raise a family, and above all, it’s the only completely mixed city in the entire Middle East— religiously, ethnically, and socially—that enjoys actual, day-to-day coexistence.”
To learn what you need to bring to his offices to receive consular services, please call or email Mr. Friedland, or visit our website to review the requirements: http://israel.usembassy.gov/service.html. You must make an appointment for passport, report of birth, and notarial services.
The Consular Agency in Haifa is open Sundays through Thursdays, and is located in the German Colony in the lower part of Haifa. Appointment hours are generally in the morning. The Consular Agency’s role is limited to assisting American citizens. It does not provide visa services and cannot answer questions about visa processing or law.
