If you live in Turkey and have changed your surname, it is important to know what steps to take to renew your residence permit (VWP). Follow these steps to successfully update your DPA in Turkey:
1. Collection of documents: You will need a document confirming the change of surname: marriage certificate, divorce or other official document.
2. Translation of documents: If your document is issued in a foreign language, it is necessary to make an sworn translation into Turkish. This is necessary to confirm the legitimacy of the document in the Turkish authorities.
3. Application to the Migration Service: With prepared documents and their translations, please contact the Turkish Migration Service.
4. Obtaining a new residence permit: After submitting all the necessary documents, the migration service will issue you a new residence permit with a new name and send it by post.
