How to get an ICI 

(Individual Convert ID)

                  Personal Identity Card for Those Who Want to Resettle in the Promised Land

Before receiving an Individual Identity Card (ICI), there is a set procedure that must be completed. Let's take a closer look at everything you need to know about this procedure.

Obtaining an ICI is an important step for anyone who is drawn by the Almighty to the Promised Land. But this process can raise many questions. For example, how long does it take to obtain an ICI? Is it necessary to first live on a Kibbutz? What factors influence the process and how can it be accelerated?

How long does it take to obtain an ICI?

How long does it take to become one with the Chosen People? This is probably the first and most important question that worries sincere worshipers of YHWH.

The process begins with a telephone interview, which is an important stage of your request.

This is usually a thirty-minute interview. You will be asked the most common questions.

Then, KNISAH will invite you to a personal interview within 3 months from the telephone interview.

You will receive an invitation to an interview by registered mail at least 25 days before the interview date.

The interview at KNISAH takes place behind closed doors in complete confidentiality.

According to statistics, KNISAH issues (ICI) in approximately 20% of the cases reviewed.

Additional explanations for the reasons for refusal to issue (ICI).

1. A false, counterfeit or forged identity document was presented.

2. The purpose (motivation) of your move is not clear from the documents presented and based on the interview.

3. You pose a threat to public order or internal security.

4. Questionable behavior during the interview.

5. Expulsion from the Kibbutz.

6. Do not leave questions in the questionnaire blank: be as open as possible in your answers.

If you successfully pass the interview, the next step will be an invitation to stay in the Kibbutz for three months.

What is the purpose of the Kibbutz?

The purpose of living in the Kibbutz is to immerse yourself in Hanivharim Zionism (Return of the Chosen), in the Divine order of social structure, to submit to the Laws of the Almighty, to prepare to meet Moshiach, to gain the necessary knowledge of Hebrew, to get to know the culture of the country, society and to fully immerse yourself in the Messianic (i.e. believers in Yahshua the Messiah and observing the Commandments of YHWH) Jewish community.

You will live in the Kibbutz rent-free in exchange for doing work at the location of the Kibbutz.

The duration of the training varies from 4 to 8 hours a day, for three months, depending on the program and the schedule of classes.

The classes will help you prepare for the theoretical and practical parts of the exam.

This way, you can focus on acquiring the specific skills needed to live in Jewish society before moving to Israel.
