To obtain a Turkish judgment, identify the court, file and type of copy required, then establish the legal right and authority to request it.
Ask for the correct court record
A short-form decision, reasoned judgment, finality endorsement and hearing record serve different purposes. If the document will be used abroad, the receiving authority may need a certified complete decision and separate proof of finality. Keep the court name, year and case number where known.
Access and foreign use are separate steps
A party connection or suitable authority may be required for access. Once obtained, the record may need authentication and translation for its intended destination. Do not assume a screenshot or ordinary printout will be accepted. The lawyer can assess the lawful route but cannot guarantee access to a restricted file.
Access is an entitlement, not a promise
Court files, civil records, banking information and land registry information are governed by different access rules. A lawyer’s professional status does not provide unrestricted access to every record. Some applications require a power of attorney, a party connection, heirship evidence or a court decision. If a document cannot legally be supplied, the answer should say so and explain any lawful alternative rather than imply an official connection.
Keep sensitive material out of the first enquiry
A short description, record type, country of use and deadline are usually enough to identify a starting point. Do not send passwords, e-Devlet credentials, complete banking details, identity numbers or a full criminal file through the open enquiry form. Once scope and authority are agreed, a suitable document-exchange method can be established. Name differences across passports, marriage records and judgments should be disclosed because they can affect acceptance.

Can this process be handled while you live abroad?
Some records can be obtained through a representative; others require personal application, a particular legal interest or an institutional process. Electronic availability does not automatically mean a document is valid for every foreign use.
Explore the attendance guideYour questions, answered.
Can you get a judgment from any person’s case?+
Only where lawful access and the required authority or interest exist. This is not an unrestricted court-record search service.
Can you obtain any Turkish document?+
No. Availability depends on access rights, authority and the issuing institution. The scope is confirmed before work is accepted.
Are you an apostille or translation authority?+
No. Official certificates come from the competent public authority. Translation and notarial services are performed by the relevant qualified providers.
Should I upload my passport now?+
No. The initial enquiry does not require an identity-document upload. Necessary documents can be requested later through an agreed channel.
