PREPARATION BY TRANSACTION

Check before the transaction

  1. Prepare, where applicable, the licence plate, chassis, registration licence, commercial line or customs file details.

  2. State the scope of the purchase, sale, delivery or customs transaction and the country where it will apply.

  3. Prepare your valid identity document and the attorney-in-fact's details; confirm with the notary office or consulate whether additional documents and photographs are required.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this text directly?

Assess the details and authorities in the sample against your specific transaction. The form of the notarial or consular act and the current legislation must also be checked separately.

How can I download or print the text?

Use the Print option, or download the Turkish original as a PDF or Word (RTF) file. Only the Turkish original is offered for download, because a power of attorney to be used in Türkiye is executed in Turkish. The RTF file can be edited in Word and compatible word processors.

What should I do if I will act from abroad?

First clarify the transaction and the scope of authority with our firm. Depending on whether you go through a consulate or a foreign notary, determine the preparation of documents, certification and translation.
