Tips for searching in English
The lists use Israel Post's English spelling, and match names from their first letters. If a name does not come up, try its official spelling:
| Instead of | Type |
|---|---|
| Tel-Aviv, Jaffa | Tel Aviv (listed as Tel Aviv - Yafo, which includes Jaffa) |
| Beer Sheva | Be'er (with the apostrophe) |
| Petach Tikva | Petah (listed as Petah Tiqwa) |
Street names follow the same spelling, and some include a first name: Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv is listed as Meir Dizengoff. If a building has several entrances, choose the entrance letter. Each entrance can have its own zip code.
A P.O. Box has its own zip code, different from the zip code of a street address. To find it, choose Search by city and P.O. Box.
Israeli zip codes have 7 digits
Israel has used 7-digit zip codes since early 2013, in place of the older 5-digit codes. A 5-digit code is out of date: use the 7-digit code from the lookup.
There is no single zip code for Israel, and no single zip code for a big city. In cities, a zip code covers a short part of a street, sometimes a single building. On Yafo Street (Jaffa Road) in Jerusalem, for example:
| Address | Zip code |
|---|---|
| 1 Yafo, Jerusalem | 9414101 |
| 100 Yafo, Jerusalem | 9434131 |
Many small towns and villages have one zip code for every address. Maslul, for example, has the zip code 8511200.
How to write an Israeli address in English
Write the zip code before the city, and the country on the last line:
For example:
In an online form, enter the 7 digits in the Zip Code or Postal Code field, the city in the City field, and choose Israel as the country. Write the entrance, floor and apartment number in Address Line 2, as Entrance, Floor and Apt.
For a P.O. Box, write it instead of the street:
