Can you get a ID number without having residency. My husband who only has a toutist visa at the moment needs to renew his car insurance and it appears he needs an ID number to do this. He wants to get his residency, but as he's only just entered Turkey on a new tourist visa, having been away, he's been told he can't even apply for his residency until a week before his 3 months tourist visa expires, and with it then taking around a month for the applications to come back, that would mean 4 months before he can insure the car.
If you definately need a residency to get an id number, does anyone know if you can still pay extra and get your residency in a day?
