Getting legally married in Turkey requires navigating a set of official procedures and legal requirements, especially for foreigners. At ER&GUN&ER Law Firm, our marriage lawyers in Turkey assist both Turkish citizens and foreign nationals in marriage registration, document preparation, and legal compliance.
In Turkey, only civil marriages performed by the municipality are legally recognized. Religious ceremonies do not constitute legal marriage under Turkish law. For foreigners, proving eligibility to marry often involves consulate-issued documentation and government verification. You may also consult our Turkish divorce lawyers if you need support with past or current marital status declarations.
