Closing-Day Check for Title deed identity match Core point Closing-day identity
Closing-Day Check for Title deed identity match Core point Closing-day identity matching should use original/accepted documents valid on that day, not stale copies collected when the file was opened. How to verify it Match seller or representative identity to the registered right-holder and the actual closing transaction before signature and release of price.
Decision impact If passport, identity card or representative changed after the earlier check, revalidate authority instead of assuming the previous result remains sufficient. Closing-day identity reconciliation On the final signing day reconcile the parties’ full legal names, Turkish identity or passport numbers and the title-register data.
If an agent signs, verify the current Vekaletname through the notary-linked electronic process and compare the agent’s identity and authority. Match the persons physically present with their identification images and, for foreign parties who require it, ensure a sworn interpreter is present so the transaction is understood.
Evidence to retain Keep original passport/identity evidence with any notarized translation, the title record, the verified power of attorney and agent identity, plus the electronic identity-reconciliation record used by the title officer. Decision use Even a minor spelling error in the owner’s name should be corrected through the title-office name-correction process before sale.
Powers of attorney should be verified in the official integrated notary/title system rather than by appearance of the paper alone.
Property identity and the current registry
On closing day use fresh evidence for facts that can change: party identity, representative authority, registry and restrictions, payment status and expiring documents. Web Tapu allows applications for transactions such as sale, mortgage and inheritance transfer, but it does not make an earlier registry copy current evidence. If a representative acts, check the representation document against the party’s identity, scope of authority and transaction type. A mismatch in unit, share, owner or a newly added restriction requires the file to be reconciled again before payment or completion.
The current TKGM land-registry record is the starting point for proving the owner and the property; an old title-deed copy or an advertisement is not a substitute. The result can affect what is actually registered to the buyer or which restrictions travel with the property, so it is not a minor clerical issue. Match the name and identity or legal-entity details, province, district, neighbourhood, ada/parsel and the independent-unit number where applicable. Read mortgages, attachments, annotations, easements and other restrictions before a material commitment. Reconcile them with the final signing version before transferring funds or rights.
Independent unit and land share
Reconcile them with the final signing version before transferring funds or rights. Conversion to Kat Mülkiyeti is tied to documents including the building-use permit under TKGM procedures, so Kat İrtifakı alone is not proof that construction is fully completed or that occupancy approval exists. The land share is not decorative data; it forms part of the ownership structure and can affect rights, voting, allocation of some common obligations and redevelopment. A wrong independent-unit number or share can connect the buyer to a different legal unit from the one inspected.
The result can affect what is actually registered to the buyer or which restrictions travel with the property, so it is not a minor clerical issue. Compare the registry with the independent-unit plan, project description, actual use and management plan rather than relying on the door number shown in the building. For condominium property, keep three items separate: whether the record is Kat İrtifakı or Kat Mülkiyeti, the independent-unit number and the land share (arsa payı). On closing day use fresh evidence for facts that can change: party identity, representative authority, registry and restrictions, payment status and expiring documents.
