Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Use the actual service instructions; an account number in a message is not sufficient verification.

Who is this guide for?

People considering a transfer for a public debt or fee.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Electrician licensing and the Fines Center are examples; bank details are deliberately not reproduced because they can change.
