Civil registry offices to remain open on the weekend for YKS

It is of great importance for students to complete their applications in full and obtain the necessary documents. The civil registry offices that will remain open on the weekend will provide significant convenience, especially for working students and candidates who cannot attend weekday office hours due to school exams. In this way, procedures such as identity changes, new identity applications, and obtaining lost identity documents can be carried out without causing students to lose time.
