For those putting off the evil day, I would like to say I have had a very pleasant experience applying for a Turkish driving licence - painless other than the necessary costs and charmingly helped by Ilknur as recommended here.

Having got all the necessary documents at hand - passport, driving licence, ikamet, tax number, turkish 999 number, health report with blood group listed, 6 photographs it was a 5 stop job.

Emniyet Mudurlugu for fingerprinting - from now on not allowed here
Vergi Dairesi for paying for the privellege - 338 TL
Adliye for criminal record ?5TL
Translation and Notarlisation of old driving licence plus copious photocopies 88TL
Traffic Police fro 2 more forms incl Dilekce and licence                                101TL

Time taken 0900 to 1200 and hopefully pick it up on Monday

I was iformed 3 years ago that it is not the compulsary to have a Turkish driving licence, however there is a loophole that the insurance people can use and refuse payment in case of an accident.  My thought was, if i live here then i will do the same as the Turks, providing it is sensible and helps me and keeps me reasonably covered for all eventualities.  I would hate to think that i was in an accident to find out that the insurers decided not to pay out because of a bit of an ambiguous legislation.  Be safe, dont worry as the song goes.

Hello, At the recent British Consulate meeting here in Didim and Akbuk it was announced that you do not have to have a Turkish driving licence now BUT you must have your UK card licence translated and notarised in Turkey and carry this translation with you in your car/wallet. The British Consulate also said that if any insurance company refused to insure you or charge you more because you don't have a Turkish licence then this is wrong according to the Turkish Highway Driving Law (don't know the exact name) and its article 40 section G. For more information I would e-mail the British Consulate for more information.

So if you have a UK card license no matter whether you should or not it would appear that if it is translated then you are OK.

I wonder f they translate the expiry date near the picture
