One of the most common questions after a divorce case concludes is when the judgment will be recorded in the civil registry. In Antalya—Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Kepez, Lara—the record is updated once the judgment becomes final and enforceable.
No. It is not entered immediately. The decision must be served, the appeal period must lapse (or appeals be concluded), and the judgment must be finalized. Then the court issues an official letter to the civil registry, and your marital status is updated.
Uncontested divorces generally move faster; contested cases may take longer due to service and possible appeals. Administrative workload can also affect the time it takes for the registry update.
Each file differs; service issues and appeals directly affect total time.
No. You must wait until the judgment is final and recorded in your registry entry. Otherwise you are still shown as married and a new civil marriage cannot be performed.
Wrong service address, missing applications, or failure to obtain the finalization certificate may delay the process. With an Antalya divorce lawyer, the procedure is handled properly and the registry update is smoother.
After finalization and the court’s notification, the registry is updated. It then appears on e-Government as well.
Courts usually notify the civil registry ex officio. However, applying with the finalization certificate may speed things up.
No. In most cases, a judgment bearing the finalization annotation is required. An ordinary copy is not sufficient.
Once recorded in Türkiye, it is transmitted to foreign records via consulates. Timelines vary by each country’s law.
Generally no. Applications for name change are not accepted until the registry is updated.
