According to the Turkey Civil Status Act, marriage certificates that are older than 80 years are not issued by the registry office as civil marriage certificates.

Such old marriage certificates can often be found in archives.
If the old marriage certificate has been found, these marriage certificate can receive a simple official certification.

This also applies to birth certificates (older than 110 years) and death certificates (older than 30 years).

Since there is no central database for marriage registers in Turkey, these old certificate must be searched for in the relevant archives.

In order for us to successfully search for the marriage certificate, we need to know when and where the marriage took place.

If this information is not available, we can sometimes still successfully search for the marriage certificate, but this often requires significantly more time.

Regarding marriages that took place in the old eastern regions we have no possibility of obtaining such documents.
