In an attempt to streamline the driver’s license application and conversion process, the Ministry of Transportation’s Licensing Bureau has moved the process online and digitalized the ‘Tofes Yarok’. The physical ‘Tofes Yarok’ is no more.

For information and a step by step run down of the process, see our Driver’s License conversion page.

The new online form is in Hebrew only. We have created the guide below which you can follow for step-by-step instructions in English on how to apply for your Israeli Driver’s License.

We have provided an example below after the medical declaration.
If you mark Yes on more than one question, you will be required to upload a supporting doctor’s letter for each condition. There will be one attachment line per each time you mark Yes as the example shows below.
