Passport Renewal Procedures
In many countries, if your passport is less than 6 months old, there may be problems in entering the country, it is useful to check the passport duration requested from the consulate of the country you are going to before your travels. If your passport is less than 6 months away from expiration, you must renew your passport.
TRAVEL TIP: Unfortunately, passport fees are increased every year in our country. Therefore, if you intend to renew your passport, complete your passport renewal process before the end of the year and avoid increased prices.
"Do I have to have a passport to travel abroad?”, the answer to this question is generally “yes”. However, there are countries where Turkish citizens can travel only with a new identity card and without a passport: Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. For details countries without a passport take a look at my post.
Note that the suggestions below are valid for “special” passports and for people living in Turkey!
Making a Passport Application or Renewal Appointment
Getting a new passport or renewing your current passport is a very simple process. In order to renew your passport, you must first make an appointment with the Population and Citizenship Office. Making an appointment only From the Census Bureau website you can.
You can get the appointment from any Population Directorate you want, it is not necessary that the place you live in is the Population Directorate. You can make your appointment at a Population Directorate that is closest to you or whose appointment times are most convenient for you.
Not just for yourself; You can make an appointment for your mother, father, spouse and children.
TRAVEL HACK: Before the summer vacation, semester break, Eid or Ramadan Holidays, everyone realizes that their passport is about to expire and goes to renew it. If you want to make an appointment for the day and time you want and to renew your passport quickly, I recommend you to apply for a passport on a date other than busy holiday periods.
You can make an appointment on the website of the Population Directorate by choosing from the table below. After you send your appointment request from the site, a confirmation message will be sent to your e-mail address, you must confirm your appointment using the link in that message.
If you have made your appointment online, you can proceed to the second stage.
Documents Required for Passport Renewal
If we count the documents required for passport renewal, respectively;
- Original of Identity Card, TR Identity Card or temporary identity document,
- How many years of passport you want to get, the stamped receipts of the fees and book fees that are paid (you can pay from almost all banks),
- 6 passport size photos taken biometrically in the last 2 months,
- Your old passport(s), if any.
If you left without paying, technology has developed. You can pay immediately via mobile banking. Instant payment is reflected in the system and passport office employees are helpful.
Now, there are places where you can take biometric photos in many civil registry offices. Even if your photo is not suitable, you can take it quickly in a few minutes.
Apart from these; If you are a student, a student certificate (for those who request a passport without fees) and a consent document for minors or restricted persons are required.
As you can see, you don't need many documents to renew your passport.

In the table below, you can see the passport fee and book prices valid for 2022. I would like to remind you that the numbers change every year. New passport fees apply from January, so if it's your first time to get or renew a passport, I recommend doing it before the calendar year changes.

*Special and service stamped passports are exempt from fees.
You have to pay the book fee again for each passport renewal process. There is a page in my notebook, if you say you can't use it, it won't.
I usually take 10 years in order not to be affected by the price hikes and not to pay the book fee every time. However, if you travel frequently, your passport will not be enough for 36 years, since the number of pages is very reduced (10 pages) for new passports. In such a case, you can get a new passport by only paying the book price.

hello, I gave my passport to the consulate for visa application, but my passport expired during this time. They did not return my passport because my visa is still not finalized. How can I extend the duration of my passport in this process, what should I do?
Your passport must be at least 6 months old to apply for a visa. You probably won't get a visa. You can apply for a new passport, you do not need to have the old one. If a visa is issued (though it seems unlikely), you can carry out transactions by carrying both passports with you.
I'm eating a guest from abroad, his passport has 2 months, he wants to buy a new one here, but he has 2 months because he will return, can he return if you get his old passport cheerleader?
I don't fully understand your question. The remaining time in the old passport is added to the new one. You can return with a new passport (I think the Turkish passport in question).
I'm going to apply for a passport for the first time, but my residence address is closed, is there any problem?
I don't understand what does my residence address mean_
Is it necessary to take fingerprints for passport and does it happen in every civil service?
Necessary documents and what you need to do are available in the article.
Hello, my passport expires on October 4th. Can I renew before it's over or do I have to go after it's over?
Can I also do this on behalf of my wife or does it have to be her? Thank you
Hello,
You can renew your passport before it expires.
You cannot act on behalf of your spouse, since biometric processing is done, he or she has to apply in person.
How long does passport renewal take?
2-3 working days maximum
Hi, me and my wife issued a 2012-year passport to go to Umrah in 1. We want to get another 2020-year passport in 10. What should we do? Will our passport work?
Hello,
You will issue a passport again, by paying the book fee and the fee. There is an explanation in the article.
Hello, I am a university student. I need to renew my passport. I wonder if the tuition + notebook money I will give is the same? Does being a student change these fees?
Hello,
You can learn the current figures of student fees from different e-passport sites.
Hello, my passport expires in 2025, only 1 page is full, the other pages are blank, do I need to renew it, do I need to pay the book money + fee? Thank you
If it expires you need to extend it in 2025. In any case, the ledger is renewed, so you will have to pay the ledger plus fees.
Your passport has expired, I have an indefinite residence permit from Germany, I am currently in Turkey, how will my residence permit be if my passport is renewed?
Hello,
They give you back your old passport, so your residence visa is not lost. You will only need to carry two passports together.
Hello . I am an Iranian citizen and my baby was born in Turkey and is a Turkish citizen (my wife is a Turkish citizen). I bought a 6 month old passport for my baby. But I wanted to buy a plane ticket to Iran, the baby did not come. I need to extend the deadline. I wonder if I have to pay the fee and book fee again? It hasn't been 2 weeks yet, we got a passport. But it will be at least 6 months for Iran, the remaining time of the passport, please help in this matter urgently.
Hello, I don't understand what you mean when you say the baby didn't come out. If you are going to get a new passport or extend its validity, you have to pay the fee and the book fee again. It would be best to contact the Iranian consulate in such matters, do not trust the information you find on the internet because the applications can change constantly.
Hello, my old passport is 10 years away, and there is 5 years to go. This is my passport, burgundy passport. I am now a civil servant. Can I turn it green, will I be paid extra money, how much is it and what will we pay for it?
There is no such thing as "flipping" in the passport. Normally, your remaining time will be added to your new passport, but since the status of the green passport is different, I don't know what will happen to it. It would be good to consult someone who has a green passport.
My 10-year passport has two years left on the blank leaf, should I apply for a new passport now or do I need to renew it?
Hello,
There is no difference between the two, because you already have your passport, it will be renewed, and the remaining 2 years from your old passport will be added to the new one.
Hello, my passport has expired and disappeared while moving house, is there a chance to renew it if I go with the passport number?
You just have to go with your ID and indicate that you lost your passport.
