Jewish Verification — Halachic Lineage Verification

Which Application Do I Need?

Both applications are reviewed by the same Rabbinic Counsel under the same halachic framework. They differ in who is being verified — and in how the application reaches us. Read both before you begin, so you know what you are filling out.

Single Application

$260

For one person establishing their own halachic status.

Everything in one form

What you fill out

The complete application, on this website — your own details, then your parents' and grandparents' names, dates, and places.
Uploads of whatever documents you have: birth and marriage certificates, a kesuba, beis din or synagogue records.
The $260 filing fee at the end of the form. Paying the fee opens your file.

What happens next: your file goes to review as soon as the fee is paid. Nothing further is required from you unless we write to ask for clarification. You receive a determination, typically within four weeks.

Start Single Application

Couples Application

$360

For a bride and groom verified together, as one file.

Two steps: website, then email

How it works

On this website. A short form: the basic information for the bride and groom, and the $360 filing fee. This is all that is asked of you here — no family history and no documents at this stage.
By email. The bride and groom each receive their own personalized application form, issued by name. Complete it with the family details for both sides and upload your documents there.

What happens next: the file is reviewed once the full emailed form comes back to us, so please complete it promptly. A determination follows, typically within four weeks.

What We Establish

Through careful document review and rabbinic evaluation, we assess personal halachic status — including Jewish status, kohen status, and related determinations — and locate supporting records to substantiate a confirmed lineage.

Document Review

Birth, marriage, and rabbinic records are examined by qualified reviewers under strict confidentiality.

Independent Research

Names, dates, and family background allow us to trace and confirm records often unknown to the applicant.

Rabbinic Assessment

Our Rabbinic Counsel renders a determination within a recognized halachic framework.

Documents to Prepare

Gather whatever you have that may help establish your status. The following are typically helpful — but you do not need all of them to start.

Your birth certificate

Birth certificates of both parents

Marriage certificate of your parents

Kesuba of your parents — the Jewish marriage contract

Any other proof of Jewish status — beis din records, synagogue records, or family documentation

Why we ask about earlier generations: details about parents and prior generations frequently allow us to conduct independent verification and locate supporting records that may not be known to you. If certain details are unknown, you may skip those questions and continue — we work with whatever information is available.

Applying as a couple: documents and family history are not requested on this website. Have this list ready for the full application form that arrives by email after you submit the basic information and fee.

A Clear, Confidential Process

Once a complete application is in our hands, both tracks follow the same path.

Your file opens

Single applications open on payment of the fee. Couples files open when the emailed application form is returned to us.

Review

Reviewers and Rabbinic Counsel evaluate the evidence and research supporting records independently.

Determination

You receive the outcome, typically within four weeks. We may write to request additional materials for clarification.
