The spelling of the surname in the passport and the TAPU does not match due to transliteration when selling the apartment.
Nadtochiy Inna asks:
What should I do to avoid problems when making a purchase and sale of an apartment in Turkey, if my last name is written differently in the new passport, due to a different transliteration than in TAPU (the spelling of one letter Y to I has been changed)

Hello. You have a tax number. It will help identify you as the owner. Additionally, you can bring a scan / photo or the old passport itself and ask the place where you received the new one to give you a certificate of a change in transliteration. In Turkey, transfer it to a notary. That should be enough.

TURKEY. Taxes, fees
Good afternoon! Please tell me if there is any tax for making changes to the Tapu, a new surname in the passport. In this case, I don't need a Tapu translator, but as a foreigner, I was forced to buy and sell. Is it necessary to simply change the last name in the document? What else do I have to pay? Tax or fee. I can't find any information on this topic at all. Thank you in advance for your reply! Sincerely, Ksenia.

Hello! How do I pay for an ID from another country? I'm not in Turkey right now. Should the management company issue an invoice for payment? The bank did not accept our payment, as they require an invoice for services to be paid to a legal entity. And we also don't know how to pay the tax remotely. Thank you in advance for your reply!
