Know the Rules for Your Move in Israel
A carrier licence from the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety, held by an Israeli resident or a company registered in Israel.
Before you rely on this
Israel licenses goods transport by truck at the operator level. The business that operates the trucks needs a carrier licence (“rishayon movil”) from the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety under the Transport Services Law, 5757-1997, with training and safety-supervision conditions that increase with fleet size. Available sources indicate that each move must be covered by a waybill stating the carrier’s liability and insurance. Where a mover subcontracts the trucking, the carrier performing it holds the licence. No separate international licence for movers was identified. Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
What kind of question is it?
For movers that operate their own trucks, a carrier licence for each truck, issued by the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety, plus a carrier training course or professional manager, a traffic safety officer, vehicle registration, and professional driving licences.
