Mandatory Conditions Required by Land Registry Offices for a Valid Power of Attorney

Formal Requirements Sought in All Documents, Regardless of Hague Convention Status

• 
  The Power of Attorney must contain the grantor’s full identity details exactly as they appear in the passport.
• 
  The photograph of the grantor is required on many POAs issued abroad; the Land Registry may reject documents without it.
• 
  The property details must be clearly identified (city, district, neighbourhood, parcel, independent section).
• 
  The POA must explicitly authorise sale, signing at the Land Registry, and receiving the sale price (ahzu kabz authority).
• 
  If the POA is issued abroad, an Apostille certificate is required for validity in Turkey unless a bilateral treaty states otherwise.
• 
  The signature and seal of the foreign notary must be present and readable; blurred or unclear stamps may cause rejection.
