You can check the status of a title deed application through the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre website. Alternatively, the e-Government (e-Devlet) portal also allows inquiries. Checking your title deed application status is useful to learn the outcome and follow progress.
A title deed is issued to the property owner and serves as official proof of ownership. Obtaining the deed is mandatory for many real estate transactions and may be required for mortgage, sale, or registration processes. Anyone who wishes to obtain a title deed must submit an application.
Title deed applications can be made in person at the Land Registry and Cadastre offices or online using the Web Tapu system. After submitting an application, you can track its status online.
All conditions for a title deed application must be met and the documents requested by the land registry office must be presented.
Typical documents required for a title deed application include the current valuation certificate (rayiç belgesi), identity card, and a certificate of no outstanding debts. Consent letters and power of attorney documents may also be required, depending on the transaction.

A title registration certificate documents the recording of the immovable property in the land registry. You can obtain this certificate from land registry and cadastre directorates. It can also be requested through law enforcement for certain inquiries or accessed via e‑Devlet services.
This certificate confirms that the property is recorded and helps ensure timely and accurate completion of title deed procedures. Correctly drawn parcel and boundary information are essential during these processes.
To begin title deed procedures, first submit an application and, if required, book an appointment through the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre’s website. Arriving on time for your appointment reduces waiting and accelerates processing.
How Much Are Title Deed Application Fees?

In addition to application fees, property owners are responsible for taxes such as property tax; however, exemptions may apply for certain groups, including families of martyrs and persons with disabilities.
Because the title deed is an important legal document, submit applications promptly and ensure all information is accurate. Protect your title deed and avoid sharing it unnecessarily.
In recent years, the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre has expanded online services to reduce workload at offices and make it easier for citizens to submit and track title deed applications remotely.
You can still complete procedures in person at land registry offices if preferred. Bring all documents requested by officials and ensure address and parcel information are accurate to avoid delays.
