Our role is to guide you clearly through the legal process. We aim to reduce risk. We also guarantee your application is prepared correctly from the beginning.
⭐ What Foreign Couples Say About Us
We have helped couples from around the world successfully complete their marriage registration in Turkey. They have also received their official international marriage certificates.
Even though we do not speak Turkish or English well, the team was very patient in explaining everything to us in two different languages, always with professionalism and care. The service was fast, well organized, and truly human.
We highly recommend them. You can trust your dream to them with your eyes closed!
We are both from different countries and only lived temporarily in Istanbul.
We got very good help from Radwan during the whole process. We had meetings with him where he explained the process and all information was also sent to us in digital format so we understood what was needed.
Once all documents from the home countries has been collected, the rest of the process went quite smoothly.
Without this help we wouldn't have been able to pull this off.
I very much recommend getting help from Radwan if you are a foreigner and intend to get married in Turkey.

✅ What We Help You With
Civil Marriage Registration in Turkey
We assist foreign couples with the official civil marriage registration process required by Turkish marriage offices. Our services range from document preparation to appointment coordination.
Successful registration results in the issuance of an official marriage certificate (AILE Cüzdanı) that is recognized worldwide.
Document Preparation & Verification
We help couples prepare and verify the most commonly required documents, including:
- Single Status Certificate (Bekarlık Belgesi)
- Birth certificates
- Divorce or death certificates (if applicable)
- Passport translation and notarization
- Health report requirements
⚠️ ⚠️ Document requirements vary by nationality and local regulations. We carefully review and prepare documents to ensure they meet the correct local format before submission.
Apostille, Legalization & Notary Translation Support
To use foreign-issued documents in Turkey — and later use the Turkish marriage certificate abroad — proper legalization is essential.
We help with:
- Hague Apostille procedures
- Consular legalization for non-Hague countries
- Turkish sworn translations
- Notary certification in Istanbul
This ensures your marriage registration in Istanbul — and resulting certificate — can be recognized in your home country when required.
Common Mistakes Couples Make (And How We Help)
Many marriage applications are delayed or rejected due to:
- Missing apostille or consular legalization
- Incorrect document format from the home country
- Expired single status certificates
- Improper translation or notary procedures
- Municipality-specific requirements not being followed
We help you avoid these issues before your arrival to Turkey, saving time, money, and stress.
