In Turkey

When the power of attorney is prepared in Turkey, a visit to the notary is required. Turkish citizens can issue a power of attorney at the notary by presenting their ID card or “Mavi Kart” (Turkish residence permit).

For foreign clients, it is necessary to go to the notary with their passport. Initially, they need to have their passport translated into Turkish, and then the power of attorney will be prepared before a sworn translator.

Abroad

Turkish citizens or holders of a “Mavi Kart” residing abroad can directly obtain a power of attorney through Turkish consulates or notaries abroad, along with an apostille.

For foreign clients, the power of attorney must be obtained in their own country from a notary. After our law firm provides a bilingual template of the power of attorney, this document must be signed before a notary. The notary verifies both the document and the signature. Once the power of attorney is notarized, an apostille endorsement must be affixed. This apostille endorsement is issued by the respective government authority of the country where the power of attorney was signed. Power of attorney documents from abroad without an apostille are not valid in Turkey and cannot be submitted to the court or other authorities.
