E-Tebligat system: New convenience for Turkish Citizens abroad

As part of the 2025–2029 Judicial Reform Strategy announced by the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, efforts are underway to expand the use of the electronic notification (e-Tebligat) system, simplify notification procedures, and prevent improper or invalid notifications.

According to assessments by TÜRKKEP, the scope of both the e-Tebligat system and the Registered Electronic Mail (KEP) system will be broadened. These systems will become more widely used across public institutions, the private sector, and personal transactions. In addition, notification processes for citizens living abroad will become more accessible.

For individuals and organizations required to maintain an electronic notification address, the use of e-Tebligat will become mandatory in legal processes, such as lawsuits and enforcement proceedings.

Olcay Yıldız, General Manager of TÜRKKEP stated: “This strategy represents one of the most significant steps in Turkey’s digital transformation journey. In particular, the new regulations concerning e-Tebligat will simplify processes across a wide range of services—from public administration to the justice system.

“One of the main problems with physical notifications has been delivery delays and notifications failing to reach their recipients, which has caused serious legal setbacks. Address changes and returned mail often disrupted procedures for both institutions and citizens. These reforms will substantially reduce such issues.”

Highlighting the importance of KEP, Yıldız emphasized that it is the easiest and most secure way to respond to e-Tebligats.

Yıldız also noted that citizens residing abroad can now obtain a KEP address without needing to submit a physical application:“Our citizens abroad often face difficulties due to the need for physical documents, geographic delays, and power-of-attorney procedures. The new regulation plays a key role in solving these problems. With the e-Tebligat system, citizens can now receive notifications quickly and respond electronically, no matter where they are…”
