 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Prohibits the United States from operating a U.S. consulate or diplomatic facility in Jerusalem unless it is under the supervision of the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Requires any official U.S. government document which lists countries and their capital cities to identify Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Declares that, for purposes of registration of birth, certification of nationality, or issuance of a passport of a U.S. citizen born in Jerusalem, the Secretary of State shall, upon the citizen's (or the citizen's legal guardian's) request, record the place of birth as Israel.
