Prepare a clear account of your matter

Describe the entry or document concerned and the outcome you need. The possible assignment, necessary documents and costs can then be discussed.

This form prepares a message in your browser. It does not book an appointment or upload documents.

What documents help at the start?

  • Your current Turkish population register extract and relevant identity documents.
  • The foreign document that differs or an authority’s written requirements.
  • Existing judgments, name declarations or previous written replies.
  • A short chronology and the exact information you want recorded.

The originals, certifications and translations needed will be determined for your specific assignment.

Scope and costs

An initial discussion, detailed document review, certificate application and court case have different scopes. The professional fee is agreed before instruction based on the work required. Court costs, translations, apostilles, notarial or consular charges and delivery may be separate expenses.

Preparing an enquiry does not itself appoint a lawyer or confirm a court or consultation date. Mention any existing deadlines in your first message. Your preferred language and any interpretation arrangements can also be clarified in advance.
