Turkish Passport Translation for UK Visas
Turkey has a unique relationship with the UK through the Ankara Agreement (ECAA), allowing Turkish businesspeople and workers special visa routes. We translate Turkish passports for all UK visa types, including the T.C. Kimlik Numarası (national ID number), observation pages with Turkish-only entries, and the "açıklamalar" section that caseworkers need to review.

Kimlik Numarası (11-digit national ID) links to central civil registry records.
