How to use Kausate in Israel — what you can call, and which identifiers it uses
New to the API? Start with the jurisdictions overview, which explains how ordering, identifiers and documents work everywhere.
Company data here comes directly from רשם החברות (Companies Registrar).
What you can call here
What each operation does is the same everywhere and is explained on the jurisdictions overview.
| Operation | Status |
|---|---|
| Autocomplete | Live |
| Company search | Live |
| Company report Includes: Registered details. | Live |
| Prefill | Live |
How to search
Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "il". Pass the name as companyName, a registration number as companyNumber, or both to narrow the result.
Fields
To say exactly what you mean, send an advancedQuery instead. Israel understands these fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
name | Company name to search for (Hebrew or English). |
companyNumber | Israeli company registration number (9 digits). |
Examples
{ "jurisdictionCode": "il", "advancedQuery": { "companyNumber": "513695478" }}Company identifiers
Search by passing the registration number as companyNumber — it is matched against the schemes this register can search on, so you do not name the scheme yourself. Not every scheme below is searchable; the rest label the values returned in a company’s identifiers.
| Identifier | Appears as | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Israeli Company Number 9-digit Israeli company registration number issued by the Israel Corporations Authority (ICA) | il_company_number | \d{9} |
Identifier notes
- Israeli company numbers are canonically 9 digits. If you have or receive a shorter numeric value for the same company — for example one with a leading zero stripped by another system — normalize it the same way we do: left-pad with zeros to 9 digits ("13695478" becomes "013695478") before comparing or looking it up.

Glossary
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
פעילה זמנית | Temporarily active — an active-and-in-good-standing status the registrar records separately from the standard active status. Both are treated as active here, but the original register text preserves the distinction. |
פעילה/בפירוק | Active/in liquidation — the company is still formally on the register as active, but liquidation proceedings have already begun. Treated as closing rather than active here, despite the Hebrew text containing the word for "active". |
בפרוק מרצון | Voluntary liquidation — winding-up initiated by the company's own shareholders or members, still in progress. |
בפרוק ע״י בימ״ש | In liquidation by court order — a court has ordered the company wound up, and liquidation is still in progress. |
מחוקה | Struck off — removed from the register; the company no longer exists as a legal entity. |
מחוסלת מרצון | Voluntarily liquidated — a shareholder-initiated winding-up has completed. |
חיסול ע״י בימ״ש | Liquidated by court order — a court-ordered winding-up has completed. |
מחוסלת עקב מיזוג | Dissolved through merger — the company ceased to exist because it merged into another company, not through liquidation. |
