The Legal Requirement for a Registered Address
Moreover, Under the Israeli Companies Law (5759-1999), every registered company and every registered foreign company branch must maintain a valid registered office address in Israel. This address must be a real, accessible location — not simply a PO box. The registered address is publicly recorded with the Registrar of Companies and is used for all official communications from regulatory authorities, courts, and other government bodies. Keeping this address current and active is an ongoing compliance obligation.
What ‘Registered Address’ Means in Practice
Specifically, Your registered address is the official location of your company in Israel. It appears on the companies register and is accessible to the public, clients, and counterparties. All official correspondence is directed to this address — including notices from the Registrar of Companies, tax assessments, court documents, and official government letters. Having a reliable service managing this address means you can be confident that nothing important is missed, regardless of where in the world your team is based.
Registered Address vs. Virtual Office
A registered address service is specifically designed to meet the legal compliance requirement under Israeli Companies Law. A virtual office typically offers the same registered address function, plus optional additional services such as phone answering, meeting room access, and call forwarding. Both services provide a compliant address for registration purposes. The right choice depends on your operational needs and budget — we can advise on the most suitable option for your specific situation.
Changing Your Registered Address
Additionally, If your company’s registered address changes, you must notify the Registrar of Companies promptly. Failing to keep the registered address current can result in compliance issues and may mean that legal notices are delivered to an address you no longer monitor. Our service includes seamless address maintenance — if you need to update your registered address at any point, we manage the Registrar notification on your behalf.
