As a special platform for individuals holding identity documents issued by the official authorities of the Republic of Turkiye, we advise you to utilize your new Turkish identity card or new driver's license if you are a citizen of the Republic of Turkiye. For citizens of other countries, we recommend using your resident permit document.
