Both foreign nationals and Turkish citizens must meet certain eligibility criteria to marry in Turkey. Our team will assist you in understanding these requirements and make sure you meet the legal qualifications for marriage, such as age requirements and the absence of legal impediments (such as a previous marriage that has not been legally dissolved).
- Legal Capacity to Marry: We help ensure that both parties have the legal right to marry and assist with obtaining the necessary certificates to prove eligibility.

For certain nationalities, foreign citizens may need additional documents or approvals from their consulate or embassy to marry in Turkey. Our team coordinates with embassies to secure the necessary consular services, providing guidance on any additional steps needed to satisfy consular requirements.
