The digital services of the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (TKGM) let you start many procedures without going to the land registry office.
Web Tapu
Through Web Tapu you can apply for procedures such as sales and inheritance transfers, book appointments, see fee amounts and track your applications. You log in with your e-Devlet (Turkey’s e-government portal) credentials.
Title deed record problems on e-Devlet
Some older records may not appear automatically on e-Devlet; in that case a matching application is made. If a property that does not belong to you appears in your name, this is usually due to a similar name and is resolved with a correction request. Errors such as a misspelled name in the land register can also be corrected on application.
Alo 181 and MEGSİS
- Alo 181: The call centre for information on land registry and cadastre procedures, appointments, application tracking and feedback or complaints.
- MEGSİS: Lets you view the location, boundaries and basic information of properties on a map. It is ideal for checking the parcel details of a plot you have seen.
