| Marrying in Turkey |
Requirements for British Nationals
Formal documentation is requested by the United Kingdom and Turkish
authorities to marry in Turkey.
You may apply for marriage documentation at the British Embassy
Ankara or British Consulates in Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya.
1. If you are not resident in Turkey you will need to obtain a
Certificate of Non Impediment from the local registrar in the town
where you reside in the UK, before travelling to Turkey. This will
take approximately three weeks or 21 days. Along with this document
you will need to produce:
• your passport/identification
• your fiancé/fiancée passport/identification;
• your divorce papers i.e. decree absolute and/or death certificate
of spouse if applicable,
• your FULL birth certificate (ie the one showing your parents’
names)
We will also ask you to fill in and sign an application form.
Your Certificate of Non Impediment will be reproduced in the Turkish
language.
Please note that a Certificate of Non Impediment issued by the
Registrar in Scotland is valid for three months from the date of
issue and should be presented to a British Mission abroad before the
expiry date. Certificates of Non Impediment issued in England, Wales
and Northern Ireland do not have a validity restriction.
What to do if you do not have a Certificate of Non Impediment issued
from the UK.
2. You must have been in Turkey for 21 days, before applying to the
appropriate British Mission in Turkey, providing all documents as
listed in para one above, with the exception of your Certificate of
Non Impediment. A Notice of your intention to marry will then be
posted in the Consulate/Embassy premises for a further 21 days. On
the 22nd day or thereafter, you should return to the Consulate or
Embassy, when a Certificate of Non Impediment will be issued in the
Turkish language.
3. In both cases your documents must be legalised by the Turkish
Authorities, either by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ankara or
the Governor in Antalya, Istanbul, or Izmir. When you call at the
Consulate or Embassy, staff will explain where to go and what to do.
4. A medical examination is necessary at a State hospital in Turkey.
Full details are available in the information leaflet provided by
the Turkish Marriage Office.
5. If you wish to register your marriage with the General Register
Office in the United Kingdom, the following documents are required:
• Copy of your passport
• Copy of your spouse’s passport/ID
• Marriage certificate
• FORMÜL B obtained from the local Register Office in Turkey (Nüfus
