Have Wheels Will Travel

New to the country? Mystified by the process of switching over old driving license for new?

Israel Easy has whittled the process down to 7 steps. Most involve paying a fee. Surprise surprise.

The steps are the same for either car or bike…

1) Get the tofes yarok (Green form), pay fee.

2) Get eye and doctor’s exams, pay fee.

3) Go to Holon and get permission to exchange license. Take along
your old license, the tofes yarok, your teudat oleh and teudat zehut.
(Unfortunately I don’t remember the schedule for the window where you
get the stamps you need. It’s 2 days a week (Mon and Wed, maybe?) in
the morning only. The clerk there will tell you how many lessons you
need. I’ve had a bike license for 23 years and I was required to take
6 lessons, that mostly consisted of doing figure eights in the parking
lot to fill time. Only one car lesson was required. My wife had a
second because she was still nervous after the first.)

The remaining steps are on Israel Easy’s site. Check it there.

But where do you get the “green form”?
