Israel's Licensing Offices Closed for Sukkot Holiday

Translated & summarized from Ice by baba
The story · English

The Israeli Ministry of Transportation announced that all licensing offices nationwide will be closed to the public from Friday, September 25, until Friday, October 2, 2026, to observe the Sukkot holiday. The offices are scheduled to reopen on Sunday, October 4, 2026.

During this closure period, the ministry will not process applications for temporary licenses. The public is advised not to submit such requests through the Ministry of Transportation's website during the holiday. However, practical driving tests, theory tests, and mandatory courses will continue as scheduled and will not be affected by the office closures.

The Ministry of Transportation is urging the public to submit any necessary applications requiring attention at the licensing offices in advance to avoid delays during the holiday period. This announcement follows a similar update from the National Insurance Institute regarding changes to its branch and call center operating hours during Sukkot, though some of its services will remain available.
