Residential Address Change 

"Ma Ze Kal Ltd. aims to help and enable Israeli citizens and residents in the country who want to change their address in the population registry. Our service allows you to avoid the hassle of dealing with government systems and receive a new address slip for your ID card, in some cases immediately after the update.
Please note: The majority of services provided by the Ministry of Interior are free of charge."

Israeli citizens and residents living in the country can change their own address and the address of their children (up to age 18). A change of address via the internet is only possible for Israeli citizens and residents who are in Israel at the time of submitting the request."

In certain situations, you must change your address in person at a Misrad HaPnim bureau, as opposed to doing it online.

• Adults Moving to a Parent's Address: If you are over 18 and want to move your registered address to your parents' home, you must get written consent from them. You will need to present this signed consent and your parents' ID cards at the bureau.

• Soldiers or Students with Parents Who Moved: If your parents have changed their address while you were a soldier on active duty or a student, and your address is still listed at their old home, you do not need their consent to change your address to their new one. However, this change must be done in person at a bureau.

• Recent Address Change: If you have already changed your address within the last 12 months, you must provide proof of residency (like a rental contract) or a written explanation for the additional change.

• Returning to a Previous Address: If you want to change your address back to one you had previously, you must provide proof of residency at that address or a written explanation.

• Moving to a Small Community: If your new address is in a small community (yishuv) with fewer than 15,000 residents, you need to get an official confirmation from the community secretary.

• Changing a Child's Address (Unmarried/Divorced Parents): If you are the parents of a minor (under 18) and are not married to each other, you have two options for changing the child's address:

  • With a Divorce Agreement: If you have a divorce agreement stating that you have custody of the child, you must bring the original agreement to the bureau.

  • Without an Agreement: In all other cases, both parents must come to the bureau together to consent to the address change.

• If you want to change your address to Eilat, you must submit the request at the Eilat branch of the Population and Immigration Authority, along with proof of residency in the city.

Citizens and residents of Israel can change their address in the population registry in several ways, and an appointment is not always required at the Population Authority bureau.

Here is a summary of the different methods for changing your address and whether you need to book an appointment:

• Online: No appointment is needed. You can change your address through the government's personal area after registering with the National Identification System.

• Self-Service Kiosks: No appointment is needed. If you have a biometric ID card, you can update your address and print a new ID slip at a self-service kiosk using the password given when you received your card or a credit card.

• At a Bureau: No appointment is needed. You can go in person to the nearest Population and Immigration Authority bureau with a change of address form, your ID card slip, and other necessary documents. This service is provided at the bureau without an appointment.

• By Mail: No appointment is needed. You can send the application form and documents by registered mail to the National Service Center in Jerusalem.

Cases Where In-Person Presence at a Bureau Is Required: 
There are certain situations where a change of address requires your physical presence at a bureau. In these cases, even though the text states an appointment isn't needed, it's a good practice to check if the specific bureau you plan to visit recommends one, as rules can change. These cases include:

• An adult (over 18) who wants to change their address to their parents' or another person's address.

• Active-duty soldiers or students whose parents have moved.

• Anyone who has changed their address within the last 12 months.

• Anyone who wants to change their address to a small community.

• Unmarried parents who want to change their child's address.

• Changing an address to Eilat.

• A request on behalf of a person for whom a guardian has been appointed.

In summary, in most cases, you can change your address without a physical visit to a bureau, and therefore, without an appointment. However, in certain specific cases, your personal presence is mandatory.

Of course! You can complete the process of updating your address on your ID card yourself and for free directly with the Population and Immigration Authority and the Ministry of Interior, except for fees in certain cases.

You cannot change your address with the Ministry of Interior over the phone.

However, you can contact the National Service Center of the Population and Immigration Authority by phone to get more information or assistance regarding a change of address. The call center is available Sunday to Thursday, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Other options for changing your address include:

• Online: Through the government's personal area.

• At a self-service kiosk: Using a biometric ID card and password or a credit card.
