Company Formation Documents in Turkey — Passport Translation, Notary and Apostille

Turkey offers one of the most straightforward company formation processes for foreigners in the region. A limited liability company (LLC / Limited Şirket) can be established within days, giving you access to Turkish banking, tax residency, and a legal business address.

The bottleneck is always documents — your foreign passport, notarised and translated, plus apostille where required. Beta Çeviri prepares that file. Your accountant handles Trade Registry registration; we deliver the translations and notary copies they request. You don't need to be in Turkey for the document work.

Russian nationals: Current apostille verification may be required; requirements depend on the document's origin.

US and UK nationals: Straightforward — apostille applies, process is standard.

Saudi, UAE, Egyptian nationals: Consular chain required for corporate documents. Factor in 5–10 extra days. Non-apostille countries list →
