Hello all.
Does anyone know how to get a FIN card, or if that's a thing?
I'd just like to have a small (official) card for the wallet when I'm asked for the FIN. Currently, I have to look on the phone but it would be great to hand over an official government card with my name and FIN on it.
Otherwise, I guess I can print it... : :)
Thanks in advance.

Back in the days when we had Residence Permits we had little blue books with our photos and various information in. They also contained a Yabanci Kimlik Numarasi / Foreign Identity Number, which I guess is what you're after ?
Unless you're a resident or citizen, I don't think you'll have a FIN.
No doubt someone will be along later with some more up to date information.

I have a FIN, set up when I closed on my flats and had to set up bank accounts (I guess it was to report any rental income). It's just a pain to pull the phone out as I don't remember it while in the USA we received printed cards with our Social Security number and name on it. As I don't yet speak Turkish, it would make it easier when dealing with the utilities, Belediyesi and other officials.

Are you sure it's not a Tax Number that you have ?

Ah, you may well be right! I assumed they were the same thing...my apologies!

They used to issue Tax numbers at the Maliye and wrote them on a small credit card sized pice of paper. I don't know whether they still do.
Probably easier to do your own.
You could head it as : Vergi Kimlik Numarasi

Thanks, KKOB...appreciate the suggestion and translation.

No, they did away with the cards some time ago, all my friends got was a little piece of scrappy paper with just the tax no written on

We got ours on a post it note ;)

What colour though
-
Was it a genuine Post-it Note or a Turkish knock-off. ;)

It was white and I am guessing it was a knock off. ;)
