Driver’s License
Conversion Made Simple

Need to convert your foreign driver’s license in Israel? Olim Al Hakvish makes the process simple, convenient, and stress-free. Hosted at Nefesh B’Nefesh in partnership with Misrad HaRishui, this on-the-spot license conversion center provides hands-on guidance and real-time assistance to help Olim transfer their foreign driver’s license or receive approval to take a driving test. Skip the confusion, avoid the runaround, and complete the process smoothly in one place, so you can get on the road faster and with confidence.

Eligibility:

An Oleh (not limited to NBN Olim) who held a full, unrestricted driver’s license prior to their Aliyah date, and is still within five years of that date, is eligible to convert their driver’s license at
this event.

An Oleh who lived in Israel for more than five years before making Aliyah may not meet the eligibility criteria and should contact our Government Advocacy Team via email at [email protected] or by calling *3680 for further review.

What Service Are You Eligible For?

Eligibility depends on how long you’ve held a full, 
unrestricted driver’s license before making Aliyah:

0-2 years prior to Aliyah:
You will be required to take a written theory test and a Mivchan Shlita (short conversion driving test). You will NOT need to take 28 driving lessons (saving thousands of Shekels).

2-5 years prior to Aliyah:
You will receive authorization to schedule a shortened road test with a driving instructor of your choice.

5+ years prior to Aliyah:
You will receive a temporary Israeli license, which becomes valid upon payment.
