Turkish Kimlik?

Question

I am male and married my Turkish wife in Turkey. I want to get a Turkish Kimlik, what is the best and easy way of doing it ?? I have been married for 2 and a half years. I have heard that you can apply after 3 years, but is there more to it than that ??

Answer 1

You must be married for at least three years you must have a valid resident visa that will be good for at least 6 months when applying ,  you need to references names and addresses,  A letter that you have written to the mayor and signed in his office requesting your citizenship, a document from the muhtar stating that you are living at a certain address in Turkey, Translated copy of your passport that is notarized . A copy of your marriage certificate  Copy of your wife's nefus card and from the nefus office you will also need to get a nefus kayit ornegi. You will need 6 photos of yourself.

You will need 3 copies of all the above and then you  can apply at the police station but not all local stations will be able to do it. the fee is 20ytl.

Answer 2

well i am in the same situation my husband is turkish, and in my case i am paying each year around 10 thousand liras to get my yearly permit document, it has to be 3 years with the chance you be out of Turkey just six months (here i am confused cause i before i understood that it could be per year but this year they told us that 6 months in this 3 years you are permited to be outside so i am not sure) afther that you will be elegible to get kımlık. you need to take your passport, marriage document , and the kımlık of your wife and a document given by the muhtar of your neiborhood each year you will go to police station and go trought the same procedure and show that you are still married with the turkish citizen ... well  there is not easier way to get kımlık  but going trough the normal procedures...and also you have to live in turkey.
