A divorce certificate, also searched for as a divorce decree or divorce papers, is in Turkey not a separate certificate but the family court's decision (boşanma kararı) with a note that it has become final (kesinleşme şerhi). The civil registry extract (nüfus kayıt örneği) then shows the person as divorced. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Certificate of Divorce”. English-speaking lawyers obtain the right copy and prepare it for use in Turkey or abroad.
People divorced in Turkey who now want to remarry, change their name, sort out a pension or an estate, or prove their status in another country, and people who left Turkey long ago and no longer have the papers.
A certified copy of the decision comes from the family court (aile mahkemesi) that decided the case. Many foreign offices look for the finality note in particular, and a copy without it is a common reason for a request to be sent back. For use in another country an apostille is added and the decision is translated by a sworn translator; some countries set their own translation rules.
This page is general information, not legal advice.
Not as a stand-alone certificate. The court decision with its finality note, and the registry extract, serve as proof.
Yes, usually through a lawyer in Turkey acting under a power of attorney, who requests the copy from the court.
For most countries that apply the apostille system, yes. The office that will receive it can say exactly what it wants.
Sometimes, but many authorities ask for the court decision as well. It is worth asking them before ordering documents.

A fast response and excellent advice.
The service connected me with my attorney in Izmir very promptly, and she contacted me without any delay. Communication was effortless: she called to introduce herself, then emailed and texted to understand my case and what I needed. She coped with a time difference of nine to ten hours and delivered on her services. Overall she was very professional and trustworthy, and I thank her and her team.
My case was very complex and the lawyer could easily have given up on it, but she carried on and did her best. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, which removed any confusion and really saved on translation costs. Her attitude was professional.
I recently worked with a lawyer who managed to get my divorce certificate within the promised timeline, even though the information I first gave was limited. From our very first contact she showed great professionalism and expertise. She was patient and understanding and took me through the process step by step, and her English was perfect, so I never had trouble following. I was truly impressed by her attention to detail and her commitment to my case. I am grateful for her dedication and support at what could have been a stressful time, and I was completely satisfied with the result. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs legal assistance. Thank you for the outstanding service!
Although our deadline was very tight, the lawyer went well beyond our expectations to get us a legal document in time. She replied quickly and kept us posted as things progressed. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs this kind of help.
The lawyer was patient with me while there were a few delays on my side. Once everything she needed had arrived from the UK, she moved fairly fast, and I was kept up to date all along. She provided a great service and I would definitely recommend her.
The lawyer was very helpful, even suggesting that I use the Turkish embassy here for notary services instead of paying for another solicitor, which would have cost more. He stayed in touch and kept me informed about everything. I would highly recommend both this service and him.
I had a fantastic experience with the lawyer in Girona! She guided me through the Spanish legal system and answered my questions. She was easy to approach and replied to my messages as fast as she could. I highly recommend her.
My partner's Turkish divorce certificate had to be certified as a copy for his UK visa application, and neither of us had any idea how to arrange it. Through this service I contacted the lawyer, and I was pleased that she grasped immediately what was needed and set it out clearly for both of us. The stress was taken out of the process and we felt completely sure it would be wrapped up fast. That is exactly what happened, and the expert advice has our gratitude.
She was very helpful and settled the matter in good time and with sensitivity.
At the first contact, the lawyer took the time to email me because my mobile number had the wrong country code attached, and he wrote again later to check whether I still needed support. Working with him on a time-sensitive request was an exemplary experience. He used the information I supplied and got me what I asked for remarkably efficiently. It was also very good value for money, though that did not matter to me, since the priority was obtaining the document. He appreciated how important my request was and updated me at every step, and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Should I need more support in future from my time living in Spain, I would not hesitate to recommend him or to contact him again.
The lawyer was absolutely amazing. My situation was urgent, and she dealt with it quickly and efficiently: within literally 2-3 days everything was sorted, and the documents reached me the following day. My thanks go to her and her team. Great service that I will recommend to anyone.
