    Registry Overview

    How to search the MERSIS

    1. 1

      Log in to MERSIS

      Access the MERSIS portal using the 'e-Devlet' (e-Government) login or a specific user account for the Central Registration System.

    2. 2

      Select Inquiry Type

      Navigate to 'Sorgular' (Inquiries) and choose whether to search by company name (Ünvan), MERSIS number, or tax number (Vergi No).

    3. 3

      Verify Legal Entity Status

      Check the company's current status (Aktif/Pasif) and legal form within the search results page.

    4. 4

      Access Gazette Records

      For detailed historical changes (directors, capital, address), cross-reference finding with the 'Türkiye Ticaret Sicili Gazetesi' (Trade Registry Gazette).

    Who uses this data

    KYC/AML compliance officers investigating Turkish subsidiaries, local law firms verifying signatory authorities, and supply chain auditors tracking company registrations across different provinces.

    Access, fees & notes

    MERSIS provides a centralized view, but detailed corporate history and resolutions are often best found in the Trade Registry Gazette (Ticaret Sicili Gazetesi), which requires a separate free registration.

    Cost & access

    Basic entity registration and inquiry are free with an e-Devlet account. Official certificates and certified documents usually require fees payable via the system.

    Ticaret Sicil Numarası (TSN)
    The trade registry number assigned by the local chamber of commerce (Ticaret Odası).

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • ✗ Using a search engine without a login and finding only generic results.

      ✓ Full search features and entity details require logging in via e-Devlet or a MERSIS account.

    • ✗ Confusing the MERSIS number with the Tax ID (VKN).

      ✓ While they are linked, the MERSIS number is a 16-digit identifier starting with the VKN, followed by 000 and ending with a sequence number.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Ltd. Şti.?▾

    Ltd. Şti. (Limited Şirketi) is Turkey's limited liability company. Minimum capital is TRY 10,000. It requires 1-50 shareholders and is the most popular company form for small and medium businesses.

    What is an A.Ş.?▾

    A.Ş. (Anonim Şirketi) is Turkey's joint-stock company, equivalent to an AG or SA. Minimum capital is TRY 50,000 (TRY 100,000 for registered capital system). Required for certain regulated sectors like banking and insurance.

    How do I search MERSIS?▾

    MERSIS (mersis.gtb.gov.tr) provides company search in Turkish. You can search by company name, tax number, or MERSIS number. Basic data is freely accessible.

    What is Turkey's tax number system?▾

    Every Turkish business receives a Vergi Kimlik Numarası (tax identification number) — a 10-digit number for companies. It's distinct from the MERSIS number and is used for all tax transactions.

    How do I search for a company in Turkey by name?▾

    Use the available lookup or the linked official official Turkey register service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact registration number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.

    Is the Turkey company register free to search?▾

    Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Turkey register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.

    Can I search Turkey companies by registration number?▾

    Where the source supports it, use the exact registration number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.

    How do I check whether a company is registered in Turkey?▾

    Search the exact registration number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.

    How can I tell if a Turkey company is still active?▾

    Read the status and effective date where the official Turkey register supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
