Requirements
Who can register a .org.il?
- The registrant and the administrative contact must be an individual, a company or an association.
- If you're an individual, you fill in your full name without abbreviations, so not 'J. Jansen'.
- If you register in the name of a company, the legal form must be included in the company name, such as 'Ltd', 'Inc' or 'GmbH'.
- If you register in the name of a registered association, the designation 'RA' must appear after the name.
Additional details for registration
- For a company or organisation, you fill in the legal form as part of the organisation name, for both the registrant and the administrative contact.
- If the registrant is a company, you may be asked for the organisation number, which is the company's registration number.
Documents
- If you're selected in a random check by ISOC and you're an individual, you must provide a copy of photo ID, such as your passport, identity card or driving licence.
- If you're selected in a random check and the registrant is a company or association, ISOC will ask for a company certificate.
- If you transfer a domain name that's currently registered directly with ISOC-IL, a document is required. In that case, WebOké will contact you.
- If you want to change the registrant's address, phone number or email address, you need a written request on company letterhead, with the company stamp and the signature of the registrant as shown in the whois.
Good to know when registering
- After the application, the registrant receives an email with a confirmation link. Click it straight away, because until you confirm, someone else can still register the name.
- A confirmation remains valid for 24 hours. If you register more domain names with the same registrant details within that time, they're registered immediately.
- ISOC checks randomly selected new registrations. You'll then receive an email asking you to substantiate your details, for example with a copy of your ID or a confirmation of your email address.
- You have 21 days to complete this check. If you don't complete it in time, ISOC will delete the domain name and you won't get your money back.
Transfer
Transferring a .org.il
- For a company or organisation, the legal form must be included in the registrant details. The details must exactly match what's shown in the whois.
- If you transfer a domain name that's currently registered directly with ISOC-IL, an additional document is required. WebOké will contact you about this.
- If you want to transfer the domain name to another registrar, the registrant's email address must be reachable. Only then can the domain be released.
- So before you request the transfer, check that the registrant's email address still works.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- You can't change the registrant's name or organisation name through a regular update of details. That requires a change of registrant.
- If you want to change other registrant details, such as the address, phone number or email address, you need a written request on company letterhead, with the company stamp and the signature of the registrant as shown in the whois.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can't delete a .org.il domain name before the end of its term. You cancel it by not renewing the domain name, so that it lapses at the end of the term.
