Israel is located on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a Middle East country. It shares its borders with Jordan in the east, Egypt in the south, Gaza and West Bank in the east, and Lebanon in the north. Are you wondering if the geographical complexity impacts how people communicate? Yes, it does. Different regions have different ways of writing address formats. 

Moreover, there are multiple types of addresses and each has its own specific address elements requirement. If you want to send mail to a client or customer in Israel but don’t know the correct format, we have got your back. We have listed all the types of address formats with examples.

Recipient Name

In the first line, write the full name of the person. You can add a title like Mar for Mr., Geveret for Ms., and Gveret for Mrs. If you are sending the mail to a business, write the company’s name in the first line. In the second line, write the person’s name and add their department in the third line. You can write ATTN. in front of the person’s name to ensure that the mail lands at the right desk and office.

Street Address

After the name of the recipient or business, write the house/building number and name of the street. In case the recipient uses a PO box, add the term PO Box and then the box number.
