Firslty, we want to remind you that the foreigner must be single in the country of citizenship and obtain a valid certificate of celibacy, and this is a prerequisite for identity. In order to apply for an identity card, the foreign national must obtain an apostille certificate of celibacy from the country of citizenship, and the dates of being single must be clearly stated on this document. If you take the original birth certificate taken from the hospital along with this document and apply to the population directorate as soon as possible, a Republic of Turkey identity card will be issued for your child. In addition, administrative lawsuits are open for people who cannot obtain a certificate of celibacy for any reason or who appear to be married in their own country.
