ATTENTION! As of April 2, 2018, passport applications will be made to Population Directorates instead of Police Departments.
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.

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.

Mrb Sevil, is it necessary to be shaved in biometric passport photos, I wonder if there are many people who love beards, would it be a problem if we take a biometric document in a light stubble tone?

HELLO, my 12-year-old daughter has a passport. I'm going to extend the term. Since she is a student, I only get a student certificate from the e-state. I think I will pay for the ledger, thank you for the extension of time.

I applied to change my identity card due to marriage, but my new identity card has not yet arrived. Since I am going abroad, I need to renew my passport as soon as possible. Can I go to the passport application with the marriage certificate and renew the transactions without waiting for my new ID to arrive?
The best guarantee is to call the population directorate and ask. Theoretically, your marriage certificate can be used as an identity card.

If I deposit only the bookkeeping fee to the bank and apply with that receipt, my passport will be renewed and the period will be entered into the new passport, do I understand correctly?
Exactly, you can renew your passport by just paying the ledger money.
Hi, my wife has a German passport with an indefinite residence visa. She has not left Turkey for 7 years.
It would be good to ask this question at the consulate.

You have to change the ledger when changing the surname, so you will pay the ledger fee.

Even if your father is retired, he has the right to a green passport, but if you are over the age of 24 (I think it was 24, check it) you can no longer benefit from your father.

Sevim hn, my question is, when there is a change in the name and surname, only the book money should be deposited, right? And the ledger coins? to the bank

Since the ledger is changed, you will deposit the ledger money, if you will not extend the time, there is no need for any additional fees. Let's say your passport was 10 years old, you wanted to change your name in the 4th year. I know that you can get your new passport for the remaining 6 years just by paying the book fee. You deposit your money in the bank.

It is enough to renew the book, they will give you back your old passport, you can use the visa from there.
Just renewing the book is enough. Your visa is still valid. You will only use two passports.
