Citizens who cannot complete their official transactions during the week are researching whether notaries are open on Saturday. In Turkey, weekend notary service is provided through the duty notary system.
Although standard notary offices are closed on the weekend, pre-determined duty notaries provide service on Saturdays and Sundays so that citizens can perform their transactions. Therefore, notary transactions can be performed on Saturday.
At duty notaries, most of the transactions performed during the week can be carried out in the same way. These include second-hand vehicle sales and transfers, power of attorney preparation, signature circulars, document certification, translation certification, and protest transactions.
The working hours of duty notaries serving on the weekend are generally applied between 10:00 and 16:00. To prevent delays in transactions due to high volume, it is recommended to go to the notary before the closing time.
Those who want to reach the nearest duty notary can access address, telephone, and location information by selecting their province and district on the “Find Duty Notary” screen on the official website of the Turkish Notaries Union.
