We provide professional certified translations that are accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), as well as by Canadian legal, academic, and professional institutions.
What Is a Turkish Kimlik?
The Turkish Kimlik is an official identification document issued by the Republic of Turkey. There are two primary types, each serving different purposes and issued to different groups:
1. Turkish
Citizen Kimlik
This is the national ID card issued to citizens of Turkey. It includes personal
details such as full name, date and place of birth, gender, a biometric photo,
and the unique Turkish Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik No). It is used for
domestic and international identification, voting, travel, and legal
transactions.
2.
Refugee or Temporary Protection Kimlik
Turkey also issues Kimlik cards to refugees and persons under temporary
protection, including individuals from Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries.
These ID cards include a foreigner identification number (usually beginning
with “99”) and are critical for proving legal status in Turkey. For those
resettling in Canada, especially through humanitarian pathways, this document
is often essential.
