Israel — Application for Registration of a Company (Form 1 / טופס 1)
The Israeli Corporations Authority's (Ministry of Justice) Form 1 (טופס 1, Regulation 1), 'Application for Registration of a Company', filed with the Registrar of Companies under section 8 of the Companies Law, 5759-1999. Opens Israel's Business Formation vertical (2 of 6, combined with the already-modelled Taxes vertical, `il/tax-authority/1301-personal-details`). Scoped to the simplest coherent pathway: a single natural-person founder who is simultaneously the company's sole initial applicant/shareholder, filing a private company limited by shares with one class of shares. Out of scope: a corporate (rather than natural-person) founder, multiple founders/shareholders (the form's own shareholder-declaration block and share-allocation table are open, many-row repeating structures; GovSchema's array/repeating-group proposal, GSP-0009, is not yet part of the accepted v0.3 specification, so this version models exactly one shareholder rather than fabricating a row cap), multiple distinct share classes (the form's own share-capital table is likewise a repeating table, collapsed here to one class), and the ambiguous single-checkbox row referencing section 175 of the Companies Law (a source-extraction artifact left this row's own heading text partially garbled in the underlying .doc file; rather than fabricate its meaning, it is disclosed here as an unresolved gap for a future review with cleaner source access). This document describes the form only; it does not submit anything on the founder's behalf, and does not imply endorsement by the State of Israel, the Ministry of Justice, or the Israeli Corporations Authority. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Israel.

Why this schema and why now (GOV-3087, following on from GOV-3078)
The prior GOV-3078 cycle ("GovSchema Standard Research") screened all of Israel's then-unscreened verticals and found Form 1 (Application for Company Registration) the strongest of three leads by field richness and native form-field markup (154 FORMTEXT + 19 FORMCHECKBOX fields in the raw .doc), but deferred authoring given that cycle's one-cycle effort budget already spent on opening Nepal. This cycle (GOV-3087) independently re-fetched and re-verified the source from scratch — not trusted as pre-recorded — before authoring against it.

.doc(D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1), not a renamed or mismatched file — this registry has previously been burned by a URL serving unrelated content under a plausible-looking filename (seelk/bnr.wp.gov.lk's Philippines-BNR mismatch, GOV-3062's correction to the Sri Lanka Business Formation entry), so this check was done before any extraction was trusted. - Extracted via the
word-extractornpm package (v1.0.4)'sgetBody()API, which recovers the full run of table-cell and paragraph text in document order, including everyFORMTEXTfield's literal blank-run placeholder. This library exposes no bookmark/FFDataAPI for legacy binary.doc(unlike.docx'sw:sdtcontent controls, which several other schemas in this registry have parsed directly), so this document's field identity, scope, and grouping were derived from the label text and table structure immediately adjacent to each blank in the extracted body — the same label-proximity technique already established in this registry for other non-AcroForm/flat sources.

Scope decisions
Form 1 is a general-purpose company-registration application supporting any number of founders/shareholders, multiple share classes, and both natural-person and corporate founders. Modeling all of that would require open, many-row repeating tables (the shareholder/share-allocation table, the share-capital-by-class table, and the founder-declaration block, which the extracted body shows repeated 4 times in the source's own blank template). GovSchema's array/repeating-group proposal, GSP-0009, is not yet part of the accepted v0.3 specification. Following the identical precedent set by pk/secp/company-incorporation-single-member-company (which collapsed a wide multi-subscriber/multi-UBO table to a Single Member Company's exactly-one-person pathway rather than fabricate a row cap), this version is scoped to:
- A single natural-person founder who is simultaneously the company's sole applicant and sole initial shareholder. The form's own alternative corporate-founder path ("שם התאגיד" / "מס' תאגיד") is out of scope.
- One class of shares, collapsing the source's own share-capital table (four blank rows in the template) and share-allocation table to a single
shareTypeName/shareParValuePerSharepair. sharesHaveParValuemodels the form's own real either/or distinction — "\_\_\_ מניות ללא ערך נקוב / בסך כולל של \_\_\_ ₪" ("\_\_\_ shares with no par value / with total value of \_\_\_ ₪") — as a boolean gate for the value-dependent fields (registeredShareCapitalTotalValue,shareParValuePerShare,allocatedShareCapitalTotalValue), since the form itself presents this as a real fork, not an invented one.companyPurposeTypemodels the form's own four-option §32 purpose block as an enum;companyPurposeDetailis gatedrequiredWhencompanyPurposeTypenotEqualsLAWFUL_BUSINESS_UNRESTRICTED, since three of the four options (§32(2), §32(3), and the public-purpose option) each print their own blank detail lines while the unrestricted §32(1) option prints none.- The three restriction/no-restriction blocks (share-transfer restriction, public-offering prohibition, fifty-shareholder cap) each model the form's own "mark the applicable alternative and detail the governing articles sections" instruction as a boolean plus a
requiredWhen-gated sections field — the same pattern used three times running in the source itself. - One row is disclosed as out of scope rather than guessed at. A checkbox row's own heading, referencing section 175 of the Companies Law (a balance-sheet-attachment exemption contingent on the three restriction checkboxes above being ticked a certain way), came back from
word-extractorwith a garbled, partially duplicated text fragment ("הור הוב הוראות בתקנון לפי סעיף 175 לחוק") that could not be confidently reconstructed into a single, unambiguous field without fabricating its exact semantics. This registry's convention favors disclosing a genuine extraction gap over inventing a plausible-sounding field; a future cycle with cleaner source access (e.g. a rendered visual pass, the technique already used elsewhere in this registry for RTL/garbled text) should resolve it. founderHasIsraeliIdmodels a real either/or distinction the form's own prose draws ("היה החותם מי שאינו בעל ת\"ז ישראלית, יציין מספר דרכונו..." — "should the signer be someone who does not hold an Israeli ID, they shall state their passport number...") gatingfounderPassportNumber/founderPassportIssuingCountryand thenonIsraeliIdCertifiedCopydocument — unlike cases elsewhere in this registry where a conditional was deliberately not modeled for lack of a real boolean gate on the source (e.g.il/tax-authority/1301-personal-details'sresidentialAddress).- The certifying-attorney fields and
attorneyCertificationDeclarationdocument are modeledrequired: true(not gated behind a boolean), since this form provides no alternative unwitnessed filing pathway — the attorney's certification is mandatory on every filing under this form, unlike e.g.il/tax-authority/1301-personal-details's paid-preparer block, which the source form itself makes optional. documents[](5 entries) models the two plain attachment checkboxes ("ומצרף בזה") assupporting-evidence(the directors'-fitness declaration is a distinct standalone document this form only references by title, not text this form itself states verbatim), the founder's own sworn first-shareholder declaration and the attorney's own certification asattestationentries with statement text quoted verbatim from the extracted body, and the non-Israeli-ID passport copy as anidentity-documententry gated onfounderHasIsraeliId.
Conformance fixtures (Phase 3)
7 fixtures committed under conformance/il/corporations-authority/company-registration-form-1/1.0.0/: 2 valid scenarios plus 5 mutation-control fixtures, each derived from a valid fixture by a single targeted mutation. All 7 were run against a from-scratch, ephemeral field-by-field conformance checker (derived directly from this schema's own fields[]/documents[]/requiredWhen conditions, not committed to the repo) before being finalized:
valid-limited-by-shares-no-par-value.json(a single Israeli-ID-holding founder, no-par-value shares, unrestricted §32(1) purpose, limited shareholder liability) — 0 errors.valid-unlimited-professional-non-israeli-founder.json(a non-Israeli-ID founder providing a passport number/country, par-value shares, all three restriction blocks active, unlimited professional-company liability — exercising every optional/conditional field) — 0 errors.mutation-control-missing-required-field.json(dropsfounderIdNumber) — exactly 1 error.mutation-control-missing-conditional-share-transfer-sections.json(setsshareTransferRestrictedtotruewithoutshareTransferRestrictionSections) — exactly 1 error.mutation-control-missing-conditional-passport-fields.json(setsfounderHasIsraeliIdtofalse, suppliesfounderPassportIssuingCountryand thenonIsraeliIdCertifiedCopydocument, but omitsfounderPassportNumber) — exactly 1 error.mutation-control-missing-required-document.json(drops thefounderDeclarationdocument) — exactly 1 error.mutation-control-invalid-enum-shareholder-liability-type.json(setsshareholderLiabilityTypetoPARTIALLY_LIMITED, not in the enum) — exactly 1 error.
The same checker script confirmed every requiredWhen field/document reference in this schema resolves to a real field name (0 dangling references).

Maturity
structural-reference: the source .doc's own printed structure is fully transcribed from the genuine, currently-served official form, scoped to a single-founder/single-shareholder pathway, but no live filing through the Registrar's own channels was attempted.
