TÜVTÜRK inspection inquiries via E-Devlet can be completed easily. Vehicles must undergo regular inspections before being driven on public roads, and they can only return to traffic once the inspection approval is given. Vehicle inspections are carried out at set intervals. If a vehicle is found driving without a valid inspection, it may be removed from traffic or fined heavily. Inspections are performed exclusively at TÜVTÜRK vehicle inspection stations; inspections carried out elsewhere are not accepted. E-Devlet TÜVTÜRK inspection inquiries are straightforward to perform. Additionally, inquiry services are available on TÜVTÜRK’s official website without a password. However, to query through the E-Devlet system you must have an E-Devlet password; password-free access is not possible.

After submitting the query, you will see complete inspection status and related data.
How Is the Vehicle Inspection Evaluation Done?
Vehicle inspection evaluation covers the periodic technical check of the vehicle. Inspectors issue an inspection report together with an inspection number. The inspection report records the final result based on the vehicle’s registration details. Inspection results are classified as:
- Perfect (No faults)
- Minor faults
- Major faults
- Unsafe
If a vehicle is classified as perfect, it passes inspection and a holographic approval sticker is affixed; a detailed inspection report is also provided. Vehicles with minor faults are informed of items that should be repaired; immediate re-inspection is often not required. Vehicles with major faults are not permitted on the road and receive a temporary defective label on the inspection report; the inspection is not approved and must be repeated. If the owner fails to return for re-inspection within one month, a new inspection fee is charged. If defects are not fixed, the inspection cannot be completed. Vehicles deemed unsafe are found to have faults that could endanger life or property; an unsafe report is prepared and conveyed to enforcement authorities. You can access all of this information during the E-Devlet TÜVTÜRK inspection inquiry.
Where Is the Last Inspection Expiry Date Shown?
The last inspection expiry date indicates when the current inspection validity ends. The next inspection date is calculated from the date of the most recent inspection and recorded on the vehicle registration document. Inspection intervals depend on vehicle type:
- Private and official cars, and all trailers: first inspection at 3 years, then every 2 years.
- Wheel-tyred tractors: first inspection at 3 years, then every 3 years.
- Other motor vehicles and certain trailers: first inspection at 1 year, then annually (includes taxis, trucks, and buses).
- Two- or three-wheeled vehicles: first inspection at 3 years, then every 2 years.
Inspection validity periods are listed in the vehicle registration document. Driving after this period expires may result in fines.
Documents Required for TÜVTÜRK Vehicle Inspection
Documents required for TÜVTÜRK inspection must be carried with you. The vehicle registration document (license) is essential. If your registration does not include a blank “Inspection Approval” field, you can obtain an electronic inspection form at the inspection station during inspection, free of charge, and then use that form to apply for a new registration document at the traffic registration office. Note that if the vehicle has outstanding tax debt or unpaid traffic fines, the inspection will not be performed. Therefore, check for debts and fines before taking the vehicle for inspection.
