Israel address format & examples

Shalom! It’s time to learn how to address a letter that’s headed to Israel. Pick up some hummus and get settled because it’s time to explore the fascinating world of Israel’s address format and examples. Writing a letter to your clients, friends, and family in the land of the falafel couldn’t be easier.

Just enter an address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it faster than you can say “Kosher.”

Now, let’s get into the basic structuring for Israel’s address format:

1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
2. House or building number and street name - The building number, followed by the street name go on this line. No separating punctuation is needed between the two.
3. Postal code and city - Next, postal code and city go on this line.
4. Locality and postal code - The locality, followed immediately by the postal code goes on this line without any separating punctuation.
5. Country - Write “ISR” in all caps on the last line.

Before we get started, here’s a note on transliteration: Address transliteration is the process of converting address characters in one alphabet (in this case Hebrew characters) to another (English or Latin characters) while still preserving the intended tone and representation of the words. In other words, we’re using Latin characters to represent the phonetics of Hebrew words. It’s important to understand that transliteration isn’t the same as translation. (That’s why translating tools don’t always get the message right). Transliteration is a mechanism that we use to bridge language barriers while maintaining mailability and accuracy to the phonics of those words, and this is one of the countries where Smarty offers transliteration services.
