Getting verified in Israel

We need to verify your identity before you make a transfer in Israeli Shekel (ILS). It’s how we keep your money safe and comply with regulations. It usually takes up to 2-4 working days for us to verify you. 

Proof of ID

We only accept an ID issued in Israel. You should send us a high quality photo or scan of one of these documents: 

  • Israeli driving licence 

  • Israeli passport

We might ask for a secondary ID to verify your identity — this can be an ID issued in another country.

Read how Wise verifies your identity. 

Proof of address

We’ll ask you to provide a high quality photo or scan of a document showing your valid address. Some documents can’t be older than 3 or 12 months — check below. 

Documents up to 3 months old

  • A bank/card statement or a letter from your bank

  • ID attachment from population registry

  • A speeding ticket

  • Landline phone, internet, cable, TV bill or a valid contract

  • University acceptance letter

  • Driving licence receipt

  • Utility bills (gas, electricity or telephone)

  • A letter from Israel national insurance

  • Driving licence — we can only accept it if you didn’t use it for ID verification

Documents up to 12 months old
