How to search

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "tr". Pass the name as companyName. Türkiye takes no other search criteria.

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "tr",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "Turkcell"  }}

Company identifiers

Türkiye has no number-based search: find a company by name, then use the kausateId search returns. These schemes label the values that come back in a company’s identifiers.

Identifier	Appears as	Format
Turkish MERSIS Number MERSIS (Merkezi Sicil Kayit Sistemi) company number (typically 15-16 digits)	`tr_mersis_no`	`^\d{6,16}$`
Turkish Tax Number (Vergi No) Turkish 10-digit Tax Identification Number (Vergi Kimlik Numarası, VKN); 11-digit Turkish personal identity numbers are a separate identifier namespace.	`tr_tax_no`	`^\d{10}$`
Turkish Trade Registry Number Turkish Trade Registry Number (Ticaret Sicil Numarasi)	`tr_trade_reg_no`	No fixed format

Gotchas

Trap	What happens
No registered address	A company report includes only legal name, legal form, status, incorporation date, share capital, activity code, and contact details (website, phone, fax, email) — never a registered address, officers, directors, or shareholders, even on success.
Two statuses only	The status field has only two values; the inactive one covers both dormant companies and those in formal liquidation — it won't let you distinguish the two.
Day-month-year dates	The published incorporation date is formatted day-month-year (e.g. 15-03-2010 = 15 March 2010), not year-first — use the normalized date for a sortable, ISO-ordered value.

Glossary

Term	Meaning
`AS`	Short for Anonim Şirket — Turkey's joint-stock company form.
`LTD`	Short for Limited Şirket — a Turkish limited liability company.
`SUBE`	Short for Şube — a branch office of another company, rather than a separately incorporated entity.
`KOMDT`	Short for Komandit Şirket — a Turkish limited partnership.
`A`	Status code meaning Aktif (Active) — the company is currently active on the register.
`H`	Status code meaning Pasif / Tasfiye (Inactive / Liquidated) — the register uses this single code both for a company that has simply gone dormant and one that is formally being wound up.
