Important warning for vehicle owners from Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya. Minister Yerlikaya stated that the deadline for renewing old-style driver's licenses is October 31, 2025.
DEADLINE FOR RENEWING OLD-STYLE DRIVER'S LICENSES IS OCTOBER 31, 2025
In his statement, Minister Yerlikaya used the following expressions: "The deadline will not be extended! The deadline for renewing old-style driver's licenses: October 31, 2025."
THE DEADLINE WILL NOT BE EXTENDED
After this date, old-style driver's licenses will no longer be usable, and our citizens who wish to renew their old-style driver's licenses will not benefit from the discounted "stamp duty" and "service fee." In July, 1 million 424 thousand 516 applications were received to change old driver's licenses. An average of 64 thousand 750 old-style driver's licenses were changed daily.
However, after the extension decision, requests quickly dropped: August: 96 thousand 134 applications (an average of 4 thousand 577 old-style driver's licenses were changed daily.) September: 60 thousand 703 applications (an average of 2 thousand 890 old-style driver's licenses were changed daily.) Currently, 2 million 33 thousand 472 of our citizens are using old-style driver's licenses. I call on our citizens, please make an appointment with our population offices, let's renew our old documents."
RENEWAL FEE IS ONLY 15 TL
On the other hand, old-style documents can be renewed for only 15 TL (value paper and foundation share fee).
After October 31, the fees to be paid for renewing the documents will increase significantly:
- 7,438.60 TL for Class B
- 3,643.10 TL for Classes A, A1, A2, F
- 11,235.60 TL for Classes B1, BE, C1, CIE, C, CE, DI, DIE, D, DE, G, M
