Marrying a Foreigner

Marriage proceedings between a Turkish citizen and a foreign national in Turkey require the follow-up of certain official processes. Completing these processes can sometimes be challenging and complex. In people from different countries, the processes are not always the same. Therefore, these formal processes require meticulous work and expertise in this regard.

For this reason, it is extremely important that people who want to marry foreign nationals receive professional counseling to complete their marriage procedures without having problems with the law and regulations.

In Turkey, a Turkish citizen and a foreigner or two foreigners of different nationalities may marry in the presence of an authorized Turkish marriage officer. If one of the spouses is a foreigner, the municipal marriage offices and population managers carry out the marriage procedures.

Two foreigners affiliated to the same country may marry at their representative offices in Turkey or at the competent Turkish authorities, if permitted by the laws of their respective countries.

Marriage applications of foreigners are accepted by the marriage officiating office and the regulations applicable to the marriages of Turkish citizens are also applied to foreigners. 

For the marriage procedures of foreigners, the document issued and duly approved by their country or the representative offices of that country in Turkey (Embassy/Consulate) showing that the person has no obstacle to marry and the identity information of the person is required, that is, the MARRIAGE LICENSE CERTIFICATE.
