• HOW TO GIVE A POWER OF ATTORNEY TO A TURKISH LAWYER FROM ABROAD THROUGH THE TURKISH CONSULATE?

The first option to give a power of attorney to a lawyer in Turkey from abroad is to give a power of attorney through the Turkish consulate.

In this case, Turkish citizens living abroad can reach the nearest Turkish consulate and make an appointment with the notary service. On the appointment day, the notary service prepares the power of attorney in Turkish and in line with the client’s instructions. This power of attorney issued at the Turkish consulate is directly valid in Turkey and does not require an Apostille annotation.

Further, in the event that this power of attorney is scanned by the consulate into the system of the notaries union of Turkey (TNBSS), the lawyer in Turkey will be authorized to take the printout of this power of attorney from any notary public in Turkey.

➜ There is an important point regarding the power of attorney given through the Turkish consulate. It is not possible for people who are not Turkish citizens to make an appointment with the consulate on their own behalf. For this reason, non-Turkish citizens who want to give a power of attorney can make an appointment through a translator of their choice from the sworn translator list prepared by the Turkish Consulate.

This translator will arrange an appointment for you at the notary service of the Turkish consulate and support you by making the necessary translations on the day of your appointment.

• HOW TO GIVE A POWER OF ATTORNEY TO A TURKISH LAWYER FROM ABROAD THROUGH THE LOCAL NOTARY?

The second option to give a power of attorney to a lawyer in Turkey from abroad is to give a power of attorney through a local notary public.

Turkish citizens or non-Turkish citizens who want to give a power of attorney to a lawyer in Turkey from abroad can arrange these powers of attorney with the help of any notary public in their country.

However, it should be noted that this power of attorney issued by local notaries will be in the language of that country.

In addition, these powers of attorney issued by local notaries will need an Apostille annotation.

This power of attorney, issued in the language of the relevant country and bearing an Apostille annotation will be sent to the lawyer in Turkey and become ready for use after the necessary translation and notary approval are obtained.
