Malach-n o, the embassy that is located at the moment in Tel Aviv provides citzen’s services such as passport applications, report of birth or death, SS applications, etc, and visa applications for non-citizens who reside in Israel. In addition, there are consulates in Jersualem and Haifa, to serve the local populations there. The consulate in Jerusalem provides services for residents of Jerusalem and the West Bank only. So if Shopping does not live in those areas, she has to officially go to Tel Aviv, until they move the embassy to Jerusalem (although she can renew her adult passport by mail, then she doesn’t have to go anywhere).
I am wondering though if they will keep the Tel Aviv site active as a consulate, as a convenience to people who live in that area.
