How can foreigners get an e-signature in Türkiye?

Many foreign nationals living, working or running a company in Türkiye need an e-signature (e-imza) to use systems such as e-Devlet, SGK, UYAP or public tenders. The good news: if you meet the requirements, getting one is as straightforward as it is for Turkish citizens.

Who is eligible?

An e-signature is a personal certificate tied to your identity, so you need a foreigner ID number starting with 99 (yabancı kimlik numarası). This number is issued to foreigners in Türkiye with a residence permit, work permit or similar status.

People staying in Türkiye as tourists with only a passport and no foreigner ID number usually cannot apply with most certificate providers.

Which documents do you need?

  • A valid document showing your foreigner ID number (such as a residence permit card)
  • A valid passport
  • Additional details the provider may ask for (contact address, phone number)

The exact list can vary slightly between electronic certificate service providers. We confirm the current list with you before you apply.

Tip: Some providers send a verification code to your mobile phone during the application. An active Turkish line registered in your own name speeds things up.
