-The resolutions of company bodies submitted to our Trade Registry Directorate by companies that have started keeping their commercial books through ETDS must contain the verification code issued by ETDS. For these resolutions submitted in applications to your directorate, the necessary registration procedure will be carried out after verification in the "Document Verification" section at https://etds.ticaret.gov.tr, and no separate notarial certification will be required for them.

-No notary certification will be required for resolutions adopted in electronic environments (MERSİS and similar applications).
Specimen signature/signature declaration of the manager(s)
(If no signature record is held in the databases of public institutions and organisations or the record cannot be obtained, the signatures of the persons concerned are submitted to the directorate either by having them physically notarised or by making a written declaration at any Trade Registry Directorate.) (1 original)

The signature specimens of persons added as authorised signatories with the new identity card can be obtained electronically from the General Directorate of Civil Registration and Nationality (NVİ) and recorded in the MERSİS database. A physical signature declaration will not be requested for such authorised persons. (Ministry Circular No. 72558467 dated 4/3/2022)

A "Authority Acceptance Procedures" module has been created and put into operation in MERSİS so that the authority acceptance procedures of persons authorised to sign on behalf of the company/business can be carried out electronically. If authority has been accepted electronically via MERSİS, a physical authority acceptance document will not be requested. (Ministry Circular No. 72558467 dated 4/3/2022)
