Yes, it is possible to have divorce decisions made by foreign courts or at consulates recorded in the population registry of the Republic of Türkiye. Contrary to common belief, in some countries, divorce can also take place at consulates.
The procedure for registering divorces that occur abroad into the population registry in Türkiye depends on the nationalities of the parties involved. In this case, it may be necessary to file Recognition and Enforcement lawsuits. However, according to the Population Services Law, it is possible for the divorce decision to be registered in the population registry by the civil registration offices. The procedures vary depending on the specifics of each case (such as the nationality of the parties, the country where the divorce decision was made, the date the divorce decision was issued, etc.).Yes, if a recognition certificate is issued by the Higher Education Council (YÖK), diplomas obtained from abroad are valid in Türkiye. This process is carried out through a physical application to YÖK with the necessary documents carefully gathered. In other words, you will need to go to Ankara to obtain a recognition certificate, but you can also carry out this process through an attorney whom you have given power of attorney. Additionally, when applying for recognition, it is important to correctly identify the equivalent of the foreign degree in Türkiye. Otherwise, the application will be rejected by YÖK.
