The registration is done by sending form by e-mail to registrar@mof.gov.il

The form should be as a plain ASCII text. Please do not use attachments.
One domain request each time, do not send multiple domain requests in one
"mail message". In the Subject of the message, use the words, "NEW DOMAIN
MODIFY DOMAIN", or "REMOVE DOMAIN" as appropriate, followed by the name of
the domain to assist in sorting and locating incoming registration requests.

Please do not modify the form nor remove the version number. Do not add or
delete blank lines. Do not add spaces or other characters in column one.
Place your data after the colon (:). All names (Organization, Last, First,
Streets, City etc.) should begin with a capital letter followed by lower
case letters.

Your request will be processed within seven days.

Once your registration has been completed it will appear on the RIPE
whois database.

When completing the form, make use of http://www.ripe.net to check
