Actions to be taken after marriage
There are a lot of paperwork that needs to be done and forgotten when talking about the hustle and bustle of marriage, the excitement of honeymoon, the process of getting used to the new life.
The first of these is identity change.
1-ID CHANGE
In the past, before the chip ID, both sides had to renew their identity due to the change of marital status, now married men with a chip ID do not need to change their identity because the identity change is done automatically from the system, but the identity change requirement is still required due to the surname change of newly married women.
You can make an appointment with the Alo 199 Call Center or the website of the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, or by applying to the District Population Directorates without an appointment.
Documents that you need to have with you when you apply for identity change;
-Identity card/ID card
-Family registry
- Passport if you live abroad
- Driver's License or a valid document in lieu of ID
-Two biometric photos taken within the last 3 months
According to the new regulations, there is no obligation to renew your identity card in a short time after marriage, but it will be best for you to deal with it as soon as possible so that you do not have problems in official offices.
2-PASSPORT RENEWAL
Since the passport also replaces the identity document, according to the Citizenship Law No. 403, your passport must carry the same information as your current identity card, and one of the first things you should do after the identity change is passport renewal.
During this process, which you can do from the Police Departments, you must have your new and current ID with you, and your old passport if you are not applying for the first time.
If your passport has an expiration date, you only have to pay the book fee, while if your passport is expired or short, you have to pay the book fee plus the fee.
3-CHANGE LICENSE
Another document that needs to be updated together with the update of your identity information is the driver's license.
-New and Current Identity
-Health report
-Your current Driver's License
-Two biometric photos
- Document showing your blood group
- Receipt showing that valuable paper and foundation share has been deposited
4-CHANGE OF RESIDENCE
The change of residence is a situation that must be notified to the official institutions within 30 days at the latest, for whatever reason, therefore, it is imperative for the married couples to apply to the Population Office, which is attached to the house they will live in.
Otherwise, there is a monetary penalty.
The documents that must be present when applying to the population for a change of residence are;
-New and updated identity card
- Water, natural gas, electricity bill or rental agreement if you are a tenant, according to your new address and name
If the lease agreement or the bills are on your spouse and not on you, you should go to the civil registry office with your spouse, taking your marriage certificate with you.
5-FAMILY DOCTOR CHANGE
When your residence address changes, that is, when you move to another district or city, you also need to change your family doctor. You can apply to the nearest family doctor to your current home address to find out about the new family doctor.
You can also make all kinds of changes online via e-government.
6-DOCUMENTS TO BE GIVEN TO THE WORKPLACE AFTER MARRIAGE
In order for your surname change to appear in official transactions after marriage, you must notify the institution you work for.
You can learn the necessary information and documents for these processes from the institution you work for.
