İŞKUR job applications can be submitted in person at an İŞKUR office or online via İŞKUR’s official website. Applicants who prefer to apply online without visiting an office must create an account on İŞKUR’s website. After registering, they can log in to the İŞKUR system using their Turkish ID number and password.
Once logged in, users see a menu that includes résumé, job listings, jobs suitable for me, my job applications, favorite listings, saved searches, job search/registration status, unemployment benefit/compensation applications, unemployment benefit inquiries, and a form to request suspension of benefits. Under the “jobs suitable for me” section, listings that match the registered information are shown.
What Are the Registration Requirements for İŞKUR?
Individuals seeking employment must be at least 14 years old to register with İŞKUR. Registration relies on the applicant’s declarations, so false information should not be submitted. If intentionally false information is detected, the institution assumes no responsibility for resulting issues.
How to Complete İŞKUR Registration?
To register with İŞKUR, you must access İŞKUR’s online branch. Job seekers must first register on the portal. After entering the e-branch, applicants should select the job seeker portal and click the “become a member” button.
A membership agreement will appear; users should continue by clicking the confirm button. Identity information is requested first. After entering your Turkish ID number, first name, last name, father’s name, date of birth, and the security code, proceed to the next step.
When the required form fields are completed, the registration is created. The information entered must be accurate. To ensure suitable job matches, applicants should fully complete personal, contact, education, occupation, and other relevant sections.
If education and occupation details are not provided, the İŞKUR registration will not be activated. Once the registration is activated, the record can be viewed via the login button on İŞKUR’s online branch.
How Do Disabled Individuals Register with İŞKUR?
Individuals with at least 40% loss of bodily function must obtain a disability report from the appropriate health board and submit it to İŞKUR. First, these reports should be provided to the İŞKUR Provincial Directorate or Service Center for verification and approval by İŞKUR.
If this step is not completed prior to registration, the person will not be evaluated under disabled status. If the disability report indicates that the individual cannot work, İŞKUR will not activate their registration. For temporary reports, registration is entered into the system based on the report’s effective dates.
When report validity expires and the disability status ends, the registration automatically reverts to a standard job seeker record. To reestablish disabled status, a new report must be obtained and submitted to İŞKUR.
Accepted documents include Ek-1 Adult Disability Health Board Report, Ek-2 Adult Health Board Report for Terror, Accident, and Injury-related Conditions, Ek-3 Special Needs Report for Children, and Ek-4 Health Board Report for Terror, Accident, and Injury-related Conditions for Children.

How to Register as Disabled, Ex-Convict, or Priority Job Seeker?
If you belong to a group entitled to mandatory employment quotas, public institutions give preferential consideration when filling workforce needs. In this case, indicate your status in the personal information area. Select the relevant option and upload documentation that proves your status. If the document meets the requirements, the provincial directorate will approve it.

Applications with false information will not result in placement and may have legal consequences. After confirming that your information is accurate, accept the declaration and submit your application for the job posting.
How Is Address Verification Performed During İŞKUR Job Applications?
Public institutions consider applicants’ place of residence when evaluating applications for workforce requests. Applicants outside the preferred district, province, or region for a given listing may not be eligible to apply. Address verification can be performed using the address-based population registration system, based on the registration date recorded at the civil registry office.
Which Listings Can Applicants Who Receive a Warning Apply For?
For example, if a public vacancy is opened at the provincial level in Ankara, applications from individuals whose registered address falls within the province—from Çankaya to Keçiören—will be accepted during the application period. However, if an applicant’s address is moved from Ankara to Zonguldak during the application period, their application for the Ankara posting may not be accepted. If the address change occurred after the posting was opened but before the application date, the application may still be considered for the Ankara vacancy.
