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

A lost printout does not necessarily mean expired validity. Check registration and retrieve the existing licence; renew separately if expired.

Who is this guide for?

Owners missing a vehicle-licence document or paid digital copy.

!
Conditions and exceptions

This concerns the vehicle licence, not a driving-licence card. Do not pay renewal twice merely to obtain a copy.

01

Identify the missing document

Distinguish vehicle licence, fee receipt and driving licence; note vehicle number and last known expiry.

Vehicle number; receipt if available.

Please note

A lost-driving-licence form does not retrieve vehicle documents.

02

Find it in the personal area

The renewal page describes Driving and Transport, selecting the vehicle, then Documents and Vehicle Licence; enter through the government page.
What should you prepare?

Government authentication access.

Please note

Never share authentication codes with helpers.

Find the receipt and distinguish unrecorded payment from incomplete renewal requirements; query with evidence before paying again.
What should you prepare?

Receipt; error description.

Please note

Payment does not replace a required test.

05

Address expiry separately

If expired, follow renewal and lawful transport arrangements. If retrieval fails despite correct records, keep the error and enquiry reference.
What should you prepare?

Updated licence or reference.

Frequently asked questions

Does losing the paper require a new driving licence?

No. These are different documents. Retrieve and check the vehicle licence rather than automatically requesting a duplicate driving licence.
