1) Who is a Notary Public?

A notary is a legal professional authorised to certify and witness legal documents. Notaries are appointed by the state and fulfil their duties by taking an oath. Their duties include issuing, certifying and signing official documents and ensuring the legal validity of the documents. Notaries act as an independent third party to enhance legal credibility.

2) What Does Notarisation Do?

Notarisation is a process that shows that a document or signature is legally verified and reliable. Notarisation verifies that the document or signature is not forged or fraudulent. This ensures the validity of official contracts, powers of attorney, title deeds, wills and other legal documents.

3) In Which Situation Do Foreigners Need Notarisation?

Foreigners may need notarisation in cases where they live or do business in Turkey. In particular, notarisation may be required in the following cases:

– Transactions to own or purchase property in Turkey

– Issuing or using a power of attorney

– Labour contracts and commercial agreements
