Company Registration Extract — Turkey Notarisation & Apostille. This guide focuses on the document issued in Turkey, its notarial preparation where needed, and the Turkish apostille route for overseas use.
Ticaret Sicil Tasdiknamesi
Which document to prepare: Company Registration Extract
For overseas banking, investment or subsidiary registration, obtain an official trade-register extract or Ticaret Sicil Tasdiknamesi. Use the issued certificate rather than an informal company-search printout.
Details to check: Registered name, registry and MERSİS numbers, registered office, issue date and the issuing authority\’s signature.
Turkey notarisation: Company Registration Extract
An eligible official original can follow the administrative apostille route without a separate notarial copy. Turkish notarisation may be needed for a copy or translation.
Sworn translation may be necessary when the destination authority requires another language. A Turkish notary may need to certify the translation or a private document, but this is not a universal prerequisite for apostilling an original public record. Some multilingual civil-status extracts may be accepted without translation. Check the required language, document format, notarial wording and sequencing before paying for unnecessary steps.
Turkey apostille: Company Registration Extract
Turkish administrative documents are normally handled by the relevant governor\’s office (valilik) or district governor\’s office (kaymakamlık). Judicial documents are handled through the designated judicial commissions at courts. Some documents can go directly to the competent authority without prior notarisation. Others—particularly private instruments and certain translations—may need notarial preparation. Do not assume that every document must pass through a Turkish notary.
Preparation and submission
- Identify the issuing authority and obtain the complete document with all relevant pages and endorsements.
- Match names and document details to the recipient\’s instructions; identify the correct original, official extract or certified copy.
- Arrange any required translation and Turkish notarial certification before submitting the relevant signature or seal for apostille.
- Keep the apostille attached to the document or retain the complete digitally signed file; organise submission and delivery in the required format.
