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

Payment alone may not complete renewal: check expiry, tests and blocking restrictions separately.

Who is this guide for?

Owners whose vehicle licence is expiring or expired.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Do not drive with an expired vehicle licence. Check towing or a suitable permit; a receipt or test appointment is not permission to drive.

Frequently asked questions

Does a new-car test exemption waive the licence fee?

No: a test exemption under the official conditions is not a fee exemption. Check your vehicle category.
