Residence certificate Translation

The Place of Residence and Other Address Certificate — commonly called a residence certificate — shows a person's registered address. It is requested for opening bank accounts abroad, tax registration and residence permit applications.

The document can be obtained through e-Devlet with a barcode. As acceptance of barcoded printouts varies by institution, an originally signed copy from the civil registry office may be needed if notarization is required.

Which institutions request this document?

• Foreign banks — for opening accounts
• Tax authorities — for taxpayer registration and double taxation procedures
• Immigration authorities — for residence applications
• Consulates — as an attachment to a visa file
