Registering a birth in Turkey

Post new topic

Priscilla

Hello everyone,

Have you had to or are you going to register a birth in Turkey? What was the experience like?

Who is required to register the birth, and where? Can it be either the mother or father?

What documents are usually required in Turkey?

How long does the process to register a birth take? Are there any time limits in which the registration must be completed?

Did you register the birth with your home country and how did that process compare? Will your child be able to have dual nationality?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello!
Did you mean that have you registered of birth of your child in Turkey if they born here?
I dont know about that for foreign nationals ( except Syrians from who they can get everything)
I can only say that dual citicenships are permited  in Turkey as long as you informed  the state before gain it or after gain with excuses,
