A smooth title-deed appointment starts with a file that matches the buyer, seller and exact property. Do not rely on a generic checklist from a listing agent: requirements can vary with nationality, representation, the property record and the type of transaction.
Confirm the essentials before booking
Ask the relevant land-registry office or check the current Web Tapu instructions for the required identity documents, property identifiers and application details. A foreign buyer may need a passport and, where applicable, a Turkish translation or interpreter. If someone will sign under a power of attorney, confirm that the original document is acceptable for the intended act and that the representative's identification is ready.
For a foreign natural-person purchase, coordinate the DAB with the bank and title office before the appointment. For a residence subject to compulsory earthquake insurance, confirm that a valid DASK policy is available for the transaction. Keep proof of payment and the agreed sale information aligned with the official application. The TKGM FAQ and Web Tapu are the right starting points for current instructions.
Use an appointment-day checklist
Bring originals and copies as the office requests, arrive with the person who must sign, and verify the draft deed details before approval: parties, property identifiers, declared transaction amount and any recorded rights or restrictions. Ask for an interpreter if you cannot follow the legal text. Do not sign a blank form or treat a reservation agreement as a substitute for registered title.
Before the appointment, review the DAB steps and the insurance and document distinction.
