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

This guide helps you organise the administrative tasks involved in moving. Not every task applies in every case. Check the requirements with the organisation providing each service.

Who is this guide for?

Tenants, homeowners and families moving to a new address.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Changing your address in the Population Registry does not necessarily update all your accounts and service providers. Check each service separately.

Step by step

The checklist

Your progress0 of 4 Steps
01

Before moving day: organise your commitments

Set a moving date and gather your contract, the property owner’s details, service providers’ details, and the dates for ending or starting services. Document the condition of the property and the handover of keys as agreed.
What should you prepare?

The contract or another relevant document, contact details, and a record of the property’s condition where needed.

Please note

Requirements vary according to the contract, the type of property and the service providers. This checklist is not legal advice.

02

Check whether you need to change your address in the Population Registry

Open the official service page and read its eligibility conditions and exceptions. The online application requires Government Identification System authentication. In some cases, you will need to visit a Population and Immigration Authority office.
What should you prepare?

Your full address and any details required by the official service.

Please note

The online service is not suitable for every situation. For example, some circumstances require an in-person visit to an office.

03

Check accounts and services separately

Contact the providers relevant to your move, such as electricity, water, gas, municipal property tax (arnona) and telecommunications providers. Ask what is required to transfer a service, end a contract or open a new account.
What should you prepare?

Customer account numbers and property details, according to each provider’s requirements.

Please note

Changing your address in the Population Registry does not guarantee that every account or provider will be updated automatically.

04

After the move: check what has been completed

Keep confirmations and check final bills, property handover records and any outstanding tasks. Only mark tasks you have actually completed.
What should you prepare?

Application confirmations, handover documents and receipts, where needed.

Please note

If there is a financial or contractual dispute, consider seeking appropriate professional advice.

Official sources
