How do I check if a company is registered in Israel?
To check if a company is registered in Israel, search its exact registration number or legal name on Registrar of Companies (https://ica.justice.gov.il). Compare the identifier and available identity fields before reading the recorded status. A name-only match is a candidate, not confirmation. Official access requirements and document fees vary.
Step-by-step
- 1
Open the official Registrar of Companies
Go to https://ica.justice.gov.il. This is the primary government-operated source.
https://ica.justice.gov.il - 2
Search by name or number
Use the legal name or identifier supported by Registrar of Companies. Trading-name and partial-name searches are not universal.
- 3
Check status and legal name
Compare the exact identifier and legal name. Preserve the source's status wording: historical and dissolved entities can still have registry records.
- 4
Cross-check the registered address
Compare the available registered address with the counterparty's documents. A registered office can differ legitimately from a trading address; clarify the difference rather than treating it as evidence of misconduct.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a company is registered in Israel?
Search the exact registration number on Registrar of Companies at https://ica.justice.gov.il, then compare the legal name and available identity details. Read the status and its date in the source's own terminology. Name similarity alone does not confirm the entity.
How can I check if a Israel company is still active?
Read the status on the exact entity's Registrar of Companies record, preserving its wording and retrieval date. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution: an entity can remain registered while undergoing liquidation. A registry status is not a solvency or trustworthiness assessment.
Is a Israel company with a website automatically registered?
No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in Registrar of Companies with a matching legal name and registration number.
What proves a Israel company is legally registered?
An entry in Registrar of Companies with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by Registrar of Companies is the authoritative identifier.

How can I check if a Israel company is legitimate?
Look the company up on the Registrar of Companies. If the entity returns an "active" (or equivalent local status) result, matches the registered address on its invoices, and its listed directors match who is signing your contract, it is a real registered entity. Anything reported as "dissolved", "struck off" or "in liquidation" should be treated with caution.

Free public data from the Registrar of Companies typically includes: legal name, registration number, incorporation date, registered address, current status, business type, and current directors / officers. Historical filings and certified copies may carry a small fee.
