Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Israel and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Multi-ID system: income tax file (Tik Niukim), VAT registration (Osek Murshe / Osek Patur). Both required; VAT number for corporations matches the 9-digit company number. Registration number: 9-digit number; assigned at incorporation; appears on Teudat Hit’asedut.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Issued by Rasham HaHavarot; includes 9-digit company number and incorporation date.
  • Constitutive Documents: Since Companies Law 5759-1999, the Takanon is the sole constitutional document (the former Tazkir / Memorandum was abolished for new companies).
  • Tax Registration: Multi-ID system; collect both. VAT number for corporations matches the 9-digit company number.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by local municipality under Business Licensing Law 5728-1968; renewed annually; not all business types require it.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banks, payment service providers, insurance, securities dealers, pension funds.
  • Ownership Records: Extract from Rasham HaHavarot lists shareholders of record, including nominee/trust declarations required since the 2021 Companies Regulations amendment.
  • Governance Records: Lists current directors (Vaad Menahel / ועד מנהל); available via Rasham HaHavarot portal.
  • Signing Authority: Board resolution is the standard instrument; POA (Yipui Koach) for designated signatories. Israel is a Hague Apostille Convention signatory.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: Israel does not issue a distinct certificate of good standing; a recent certified Nusach Rasham HaHavarot extract (Nusach Meumenet) from the Companies Registrar portal is the standard instrument confirming current registration and active status.

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Additional fields

Country-specific fields you’ll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads.

Notes

  • Dual-ID tax complexity. Every Israeli company has separate income tax (Tik Niukim) and VAT (Osek Murshe) registrations with the ITA — they are distinct certificates. The VAT number for incorporated companies matches the 9-digit company number; always collect both certificates.
  • Registry extract is in Hebrew; English optional. The Rasham HaHavarot portal and underlying documents are primarily in Hebrew; obtain certified translations for KYB where required.
  • Takanon replaces Memorandum for post-1999 companies. The Companies Law 5759-1999 abolished the Memorandum of Association (Tazkir) as a separate document for new companies; the Articles (Takanon) is the sole constitutional document. Pre-1999 entities may still have both; check incorporation date.
