New Fee and Privacy Rules for Sharing Vehicle Registration Data
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation sets new rules for sharing data from Turkey’s vehicle registry and registration database. The Turkish Notaries Union will charge TRY 2 per query or returned record when vehicle data is shared with people or organizations, with the amount increasing each year by the official revaluation rate. Data can only be shared when the requester needs it to meet a legal duty or to establish, use, or protect a right. The data must only be used for that purpose. Public bodies and local administrations are exempt from the fee, and private users get one free query per vehicle each calendar year. Existing direct data recipients without a protocol must sign one with the Turkish Notaries Union within two months.
